KARTOSHNIK WITH CHEESE AND ONIONS (POTATO CAKE)
"KARTOSHNIK", when baked looks like a cake but is eaten like a potato. Serve Kartoshnik as a potato with your main meal.
In a medium size cooking pot, add potatoes, cover with water and boil until cooked. When done, drain water and discard. Mash potatoes and set aside. Preheat oven to 450 F. In a separate mixing bowl, beat eggs; add whipping cream and salt and whisk until well blended. Add mashed potatoes and mix to blend well. Add both cheese and onions and stir well until well bended. Mix in baking powder. Prepare a 9" x 9" oven-proof baking dish by spraying with a no-stick vegetable spray or rub inside with butter or margarine. Pour potato mixtue into dish and level. Bake in preheated 450 F oven for 35 minutes or until top has a nice light brown color. (The Kartoshnik will rise but will settle when removed from oven and cooled.) Let cool for about 5 minutes before cutting. In a small saucepan, melt 1/2 cup butter to use on the Kartoshnik squares. Cut Kartoshnik into about 3" x 3" squares and serve with melted butter, a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of green onions or chives.
Serves 9
Tips: You may also use yogurt. A sprinkling of bacon bits may be used if desired. You may also double this recipe, however, use only 6 large eggs and 4 teaspoons of baking powder and bake in a 9" x 13" oven-proof dish at 450 F and for the same length of time. This KARTOSHNIK has been a favorite by all who have tried it and it is very easy to make.
