Prep the Vegetables:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, finely chopped onions, grated carrot, and finely chopped bell pepper.
Make the Batter:
In another bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, milk, wholemeal flour, and baking powder until smooth. Season with salt to taste.
Combine and Fry:
Mix the vegetables with the batter until well coated.
Heat some olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
Pour the mixture into the pan, spreading it evenly. Fry lightly on both sides until the mixture begins to set but is not fully cooked.
Bake:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Transfer the semi-cooked mixture to a baking dish.
Sprinkle with grated cheese and chopped chives.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy.
Serve:
Serve warm, cut into slices. Enjoy the melting cheese, the soft yet crispy texture, and the delightful savory taste.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
