Ukrainian Baked Potato Squares

1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
2/3 cup hot milk
3 lg. potatoes
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 tbsp. grated onion
1 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
1 tbsp. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
2 tbsp. melted butter

Directions:

Soften the bread crumbs in the hot milk. Pare, wash, and grate the potatoes on a fine grater. Pour off most of the potato water. Combine the potatoes with the bread crumbs and the remaining ingredients except the melted butter. Butter a shallow baking dish very generously. Spoon the mixture into it, and then sprinkle the top with the melted butter. Bake it in a moderate oven (350°F) for 45 minutes. Cut into squares. Serve very hot with sour cream and cottage cheese.

Comments from Olga Drozd :

Baked Kartoplyanyky may be used when time does not permit the frying of individual cakes.

User Reviews:

Awesome recipe. Too much butter though. And a little bland. It needs bacon strips or to be baked with scattered clumps of cream cheese.
