Ingredients
  

  • 4 large russet potatoes peeled and diced
  • 1 medium onion chopped finely
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for sautéing
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup potato starch
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  3. While the potatoes are boiling, sauté the chopped onions in olive oil for 5–7 minutes until golden.
  4. Drain the cooked potatoes and mash until smooth. Add sautéed onions, eggs, potato starch, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and thyme. Mix thoroughly.
  5. Transfer mixture to a greased pie dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle cheese on top if using.

  7. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Notes

You can substitute sweet potatoes or use vegan cheese for variations. Avoid overmixing the potatoes to maintain texture.
