👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a round baking pan (approx. 12-inch diameter).
💡 전문가 팁: A well-greased pan prevents sticking and ensures a crispy bottom.
2
In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, crumbled feta cheese, cottage cheese (if using), sautéed onions, beaten eggs, salt, pepper, and optional sugar. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
3
Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean work surface. Brush generously with vegetable oil. Place another sheet on top and brush with oil. Repeat this process until you have a stack of 4-5 oiled phyllo sheets.
💡 전문가 팁: Work with phyllo dough quickly to prevent it from drying out. Keep unused sheets covered with a damp cloth.
4
Spread about one-third of the potato and cheese filling in a line along the shorter edge of the oiled phyllo stack. Carefully roll the phyllo and filling together like a cigar.
5
Gently place the rolled phyllo log into the prepared baking pan, forming a spiral shape. Repeat steps 3 and 4 with the remaining phyllo sheets and filling, adding each new roll next to the previous one until the pan is filled.
💡 전문가 팁: If the rolls are too long, you can cut them in half to fit the pan better.
6
Brush the top of the entire pie generously with the remaining vegetable oil. If using yogurt or milk, you can mix it with the oil for brushing.
7
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden brown and crispy.
💡 전문가 팁: Rotate the pan halfway through baking for even browning.
8
Let the pie cool slightly before slicing and serving. It can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
