### Ingredients:
– 3 large potatoes, peeled and grated
– 1 onion, finely chopped
– 1 carrot, peeled and grated
– 1 bell pepper, finely chopped (any color you prefer)
– Olive oil, for sautéing
– Salt, to taste
– Chives, chopped (for garnish)
– 3 eggs
– 300 ml milk
– Optional: grated cheese (like cheddar or mozzarella) for topping
### Instructions:
1. **Preheat Oven**: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. **Prepare Vegetables**: Peel and grate the potatoes and carrot. Finely chop the onion and bell pepper.
3. **Sauté Vegetables**: In a large skillet, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, then add the grated carrot and chopped bell pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened. Season with salt to taste.
4. **Combine with Potatoes**: In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes with the sautéed vegetables. Mix well.
5. **Prepare Egg Mixture**: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Season with a pinch of salt.
6. **Combine Everything**: Add the egg mixture to the potato and vegetable mixture in the bowl. Mix thoroughly to ensure everything is well coated.
7. **Transfer to Baking Dish**: Grease a baking dish with olive oil or butter. Pour the potato mixture into the baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
8. **Bake**: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. You can check doneness by inserting a knife or toothpick into the center – if it comes out clean, it’s ready.
9. **Garnish and Serve**: Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with chopped chives and optionally sprinkle grated cheese on top. Cut into squares or wedges and serve warm.
