Ingredients:
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 cups mushrooms, sliced (any variety you prefer)
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a round cake pan with olive oil and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown, approximately 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Arrange a layer of thinly sliced potatoes on the bottom of the prepared cake pan, slightly overlapping each slice. Sprinkle half of the mushroom mixture evenly over the potatoes, followed by a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
- Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes, mushrooms, and Parmesan cheese, finishing with a layer of potatoes on top.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered potatoes and mushrooms, ensuring it seeps through the layers.
- Cover the cake pan with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the eggs are set.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
- Once done, remove the potato and mushroom cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully transferring it to a serving plate.
- Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, slice into wedges, and serve warm. Enjoy the savory goodness of this potato and mushroom cake as a delightful main course or side dish.
