Lithuanian Potato Bake
Ingredients
  • 3/4 pound salt pork, diced
  • 1 onion, coarsely chopped
  • 5 pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 3 onions, coarsely chopped
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Heat the oven to its highest temperature setting, which should be 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
2
Apply a thin layer of olive oil to a 12x15 inch baking dish, ensuring it is evenly coated.
3
Place salt pork in a large, deep pan over medium heat and cook until it is uniformly browned, stirring occasionally.
4
Add 1 chopped onion to the pan and continue cooking until it is tender and lightly browned; set it aside for later use.
5
In a separate, large bowl, combine diced potatoes and any remaining chopped onions.
6
Using a food processor with a capacity to hold the mixture, add 1 egg and process until you achieve your desired consistency. Transfer the processed mixture to a large bowl. Repeat this step until all ingredients have been processed into a smooth, uniform texture. Season with pepper to taste.
7
Stir in the cooked salt pork mixture into your potato mixture, blending it well. Gradually add flour to absorb some moisture, but avoid overdoing it.
8
Place the prepared potato mixture in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes.
9
Reduce the heat to its lower setting, which should be 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and continue baking for an additional hour, or until the top is evenly browned.
