Grandma’s Cheesy Potato Skillet Pie
Golden, crisp edges with a soft, cheesy center—Grandma makes this every few days and nobody ever gets tired of it!
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil or butter (plus more for pan)
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 cups grated potato (about 3 medium, squeezed dry)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup plain yogurt or sour cream
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella (or any melty cheese)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tbsp flour or cornstarch
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt + 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp paprika (optional)
- Chopped parsley, to finish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F / 200°C. Line a 10–11″ (26–28 cm) oven-safe skillet or round pan with parchment; grease well.
- Heat oil/butter in a skillet; sauté onion 3–4 min until soft, add garlic 30 sec.
- In a bowl, mix squeezed potatoes with half the mozzarella, Parmesan, sautéed onion/garlic, 1 egg, 1/2 tsp salt, pepper, and paprika. Spread into the lined pan to form a thick base.
- Bake the base for 15 minutes until lightly set and edges begin to color.
- Meanwhile, whisk remaining 2 eggs, yogurt, milk, flour (or cornstarch), baking powder, and remaining salt/pepper until smooth. Stir in the rest of the mozzarella.
- Pour this creamy topping over the baked base. Return to oven and bake 18–22 minutes until puffed and golden with little cheesy bubbles (broil 1–2 min for extra color).
- Cool 5 minutes, scatter parsley, slice and serve. Great with salad or soup.
