5 large eggs, room temperature
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for the dish)
2 teaspoons sea salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to three hundred fifty Fahrenheit and oil a 9×13 inch baking dish.
2. Grate potatoes and onions into a large mixing bowl.
3. Whisk in the eggs and vegetable oil until the mixture is opaque.
4. Season with salt and black pepper, stirring until thoroughly combined.
5. Transfer the batter to the prepared dish and smooth the surface.
6. Bake for ninety minutes to two hours until the top is dark mahogany gold.

Notes
Keep the potato liquid for a creamier interior.
Grate onions first to prevent the potatoes from turning grey.
Reheat in the oven at three hundred fifty Fahrenheit to maintain the crispy crust.
