1. STEP 1

   

   How to make potato casserole without meat in the oven? Very simple! To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. The weight of the peeled potatoes should be at least 500 g, so take it with a reserve. In addition to the specified spices, you can add your own to taste.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the potatoes, peel and cut into small cubes.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place the potatoes in boiling salted water and cook until tender, about 20 minutes. The exact cooking time depends on the type of potato and the size of the pieces.

4. STEP 4

   

   Drain the water from the finished potatoes and mash them into a puree with a masher, adding a piece of butter. Cool the puree slightly so that it does not curdle when you add the egg.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add egg, salt and pepper to mashed potatoes. Stir thoroughly. If you feel like one egg is not enough, you can add another one.

6. STEP 6

   

   Add flour and mix well again, breaking up any lumps. The mass will immediately thicken.

7. STEP 7

   

   Transfer the mashed potatoes to a greased baking dish and smooth out.

8. STEP 8

   

   Grate the cheese on a coarse grater. You can use any cheese, the main thing is that it is tasty, natural, without milk fat substitutes and melts well. Regular cheese such as Russian, Gouda or mozzarella, suluguni, etc. will do.

9. STEP 9

   

   Sprinkle the mashed potatoes with grated cheese and smooth them out. Place the pan in an oven preheated to 200°C and bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese melts. The exact baking time depends on your oven. But be careful not to burn the cheese. Bon appetit!

This recipe made a very tasty and tender casserole. I baked it in a small glass dish and it yielded one serving for four people. Just in time for dinner for our family. The egg compacts the potato mass well and it does not fall apart. It is better to eat this casserole right away, before the hot, cooled potatoes are no longer so tasty. I made a larger layer of cheese, we all love a cheese crust) And I added freshly ground pepper to the mixture itself, it gave the casserole a little heat and piquancy. I would also add cheese to the “dough”) The casserole is delicious, satisfying, I served it with pickles and mushrooms. I also personally like potatoes with fresh purple onions, very tasty and fresh)
