Ingredients
  

  • 7 potatoes, washed and peeled(or not! Your preference!) (I like to peel off any not- perfect parts and leave some of the skin on for more rustic flavor!)
  • 5 eggs
  • 3/4 Cup olive oil
  • 1 onion, peeled and quartered
  • 1/2 Cup seltzer
  • 3 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 Cup salami, cut into thin sliced or cubes

Instructions
 

  • preheat oven to 200celsius
    pour the oil into a 9x13 glass baking dish(for the crispiest bottom), an aluminum pan, or two smaller aluminum tins. Place in the oven to heat.
  • to a food processor fitted with the “s” blade attachment, add the onion and pulse to puree. Add the eggs and pulse to combine. Switch the blade to the grater and feed all the potatoes through to shred them.
  • transfer to a big metal or heatproof bowl and add the seltzer, salt and pepper and mix well. Carefully remove the oil from the oven and pour over the potato mixture. It will sizzle! Mix. Add the chopped salami and mix to fully combine. Pour into your pre-heated baking dishes and place, uncovered in the oven for 1 hour 20 minutes, until the tops are beautifully golden all the way through. The edges may get darker than the center and that’s okay. Enjoy hot!
