Mama’s Potato and Halloumi Cake

Preheat the oven to gas mark 6 or 400 F.

1. Peel and chop the potatoes into small cubes and place in a bowl. Cover them with water and allow them to soak.
2. Separate one egg and set aside the yolk for later. Place the remaining egg white and the other egg in a large bowl. Add the yogurt and olive oil. Mix them well.
3. Add the flour, baking powder, salt, ground pepper and dill to the bowl and mix.
4. Drain the potatoes and gently pat them dry with a paper towel. Combine cheese and potatoes with the batter mixture and mix them well.
5. You will have a sticky batter, don’t worry. This means your cake will be moist.
6. Add a little bit of flour and oil into a baking dish. I used 10″x7″ baking dish.
7. Spread your batter into the baking dish.
8. Brush the reserved egg yolk onto the top of the cake and sprinkle with the seeds.
9. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until risen and golden. Test to make sure the cake is cooked by inserting a fine skewer into the center. When done, it should come out clean. Remove dish from oven. Cool in the dish for 5 minutes, then remove it and cool completely on a wire rack.
10. I highly recommend to serve this with tzatziki and tea. Enjoy.
