đ§ Ingredienser

- 1
Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Grease a baking dish or a round 9-inch pie pan with vegetable oil or butter.
- 2
Squeeze excess liquid from the grated potatoes and onion. In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, onion, minced garlic, eggs, flour, salt, and pepper. Mix well until a cohesive batter forms.
- 3
Gradually add the milk (or sparkling water) to the mixture, stirring until you achieve a thick, pourable consistency, similar to a thick pancake batter. Do not overmix.
- 4
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. You can optionally drizzle a little extra oil or dot with butter on top.
- 5
Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the kljukusa is golden brown and crispy on the edges, and set in the center. Baking time may vary depending on the thickness and your oven.

Let it rest for about 5-10 minutes before cutting into squares or wedges. Serve warm.
đĄ Proffstips
- âEnsure you squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the grated potatoes and onions to prevent a soggy kljukusa.
- âFor a richer flavor, you can add a tablespoon of sour cream or a small amount of crumbled feta cheese to the batter.
- âIf you prefer a meat version, you can add cooked ground meat or small pieces of chicken to the batter before baking.
