Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 1 h 30 min

Step 1:
Prepare all the ingredients. In the store, it is better to buy potatoes marked "for cooking", since raw potatoes are used for casserole, and when baked in the oven, such potatoes will cook quickly enough. Use hard cheese: Russian, poshekhonsky and similar types of cheeses. Eggs of category C1.
Step 2:
Grate the hard cheese on a coarse grater. It is better to use cheese that has just been taken out of the refrigerator, as it will be easier to grate it. It is not necessary to rub the cheese finely, since at high temperature in the oven it will melt in any case, regardless of the selected fine or coarse grater.
Step 3:
Put half of the grated cheese in a bowl and beat 1 chicken egg into it, mix. We will need this cheese-egg mass for the top of the casserole. Thanks to her, an appetizing golden crust forms on the surface of the casserole.
Step 4:
Put the second half of the grated cheese in another clean bowl of a larger size. Beat in the remaining chicken egg, add mayonnaise and garlic cloves passed through the press. Mix it up.
Step 5:
Now proceed to the preparation of the potato base. It must be cooked last so that it does not have time to darken. Wash the potatoes, peel and grate coarsely. There are two options here. The first: using a kitchen grater. Second: using a blender, grinding potatoes in a blender using a disk with a coarse grater.
Step 6:
Put the grated potatoes in a bowl with a mixture of cheese, eggs, mayonnaise and garlic. Add salt, pepper, mix thoroughly so that all the ingredients are well combined.
Step 7:
Prepare the mold in which you will bake the potato casserole. I use a small diameter mold (20 cm.). Use a pastry brush to lubricate the bottom and sides of the mold with vegetable oil. Lay out the potato-cheese mass and smooth it out. Lay out the cheese-egg mass in the next layer and also level it out.
Step 8:
Put the form with a casserole of raw potatoes with cheese in a preheated 180oC oven and bake for about 40 minutes. During this time, the mass should grasp and gild. The duration and temperature of baking may vary depending on the temperature and design of your oven.

Keep in mind that everyone's ovens are different. The temperature and cooking time may differ from those specified in the recipe. To make any baked dish successful, use useful information about the features of ovens !

How to check if the casserole is ready? As soon as a light golden crust forms on the surface, take a skewer and pierce the casserole in several places. If the skewer is dry, then the casserole is ready.

It is better to prepare mayonnaise yourself. It will be tastier and healthier. See here interesting recipes for homemade mayonnaise.
Also, as a dressing, you can use not only mayonnaise, but also sour cream or natural yogurt. They can be taken separately or mixed with mayonnaise in any proportion to your taste - this will reduce the calorie content of the dish.
