Step 1
Potatoes for making grated pie need to be mashed. In this case, you will have to use the finest grater. Here you need to stock up on time and patience, since the process of grinding raw potatoes is very laborious. If you have a food processor, then it is better to entrust the procedure to this technique, it will be faster and easier. If you don't have a harvester, you can run the potatoes through a juicer. In this case, the resulting juice must be drained, and only cake should be used.
Step 2
So, peel the raw tubers and chop them in any suitable way to make a puree. If you intend to use a juicer, then it should be borne in mind that potatoes are different in starch content. If the juice stands for 5 minutes and a dense sediment forms at the bottom, then the juice can be drained, and the sediment, that is, starch, can be mixed with potato cake. Then you need less dry starch.
Step 3
Grind one zucchini in the same way. Take a small fruit weighing about 300 grams.
Step 4
Add salt and black pepper according to your taste. And gradually, spoonfully, add the starch. You can use any starch to make grated potato pie: potato, corn, wheat, or tapioca. As a result, you should get a thick dough without free liquid, but not dense either.
Step 5
Transfer the potato dough to a greased baking dish. If the mold is metal, preheat the oven in advance, if it is ceramic or glass, then put it in a cold oven and warm up the loan. Bake grated potato pie at 200 degrees for 30 minutes. Allow the pie to cool slightly before slicing.
The raw potato pie is completely baked in half an hour, while it is covered with a dense crust, and the inside remains sufficiently moist.
Optionally, you can diversify the recipe for grated potato pie by adding filling.
