Peel and coarsely grate the potatoes, then squeeze out excess liquid with a clean cloth.
Grate the onion and crumble the white cheese.
Mix the potatoes, onion, eggs, white cheese, flour, dried mint, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl.
Heat the butter and half the vegetable oil in a wide pan or baking dish.
Press the potato mixture into the dish, smooth the top, and drizzle with the remaining oil.
Bake the potato mixture at 190°C for 34 minutes, until the edges brown.
Rest for 4 minutes after removing from the oven, then slice and serve warm.
💡 Tip: Squeeze the grated potatoes, but do not leave them completely dry; a little starchy moisture keeps patatnik from falling apart in the tray.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Slice patatnik into triangles and serve warm or hot with optional cacik, tomato salad, and strong tea.
