Preparation
- Grate the Potatoes: Start by peeling and grating the 3 medium-sized potatoes. You can use a box grater or food processor to make this process faster.
- Remove Excess Water: After grating the potatoes, squeeze out any excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. This step is essential to prevent the potato mixture from becoming too watery.
- Mix the Potatoes and Ham: In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes and 100 g of diced ham. Stir until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Add the Binding Ingredients: Crack 1 egg into the potato and ham mixture. Add 5 g of salt, 5 g of black pepper, and 40 g of flour. Mix everything thoroughly until the ingredients are well combined, and the flour is fully incorporated.
- Melt the Butter: In a large, non-stick skillet, melt 30 g of soft butter over medium heat.
- Cook the Potato Mixture: Spread the potato and ham mixture evenly in the skillet. Press it down gently with a spatula to form a flat layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the bottom.
- Flip and Cook the Other Side: Carefully flip the potato mixture over using a spatula and cook the other side for another 5-7 minutes until both sides are crispy and cooked through.
- Beat the Eggs: In a separate bowl, crack the remaining 3 eggs and beat them until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
- Add Lemon Juice and Green Onions: Stir in 10 ml of lemon juice and 30 g of finely chopped green onions into the beaten eggs. Mix well to incorporate the flavors.
- Pour the Egg Mixture Over the Potatoes: Once the potato base is cooked, reduce the heat to low. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the top of the potato and ham mixture in the skillet.
- Cook the Eggs: Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for about 5-6 minutes on low heat, or until the eggs are fully set but still tender. The eggs should be fluffy and cooked through without being too dry.
- Slice and Serve: Once the egg bake is fully cooked, remove it from the heat. Slice it into portions and serve hot.
- Garnish (Optional): You can garnish the egg bake with extra chopped green onions or a sprinkle of black pepper for added flavor.
