Instructions

Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F).
Line or grease a baking dish (20–22 cm / 8–9 inch).
Grate potatoes and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean towel.
Toss with olive oil, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper.

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a pan.
Sauté mushrooms over medium heat 5–6 minutes until moisture evaporates.
Add spinach and cook until just wilted.
Season with oregano and paprika; let cool slightly.
3. Mix the Pie
In a large bowl, whisk eggs.
Add potatoes, mushroom-spinach mixture, cheeses, and herbs.
Mix gently until well combined.
4. Bake
Transfer mixture to prepared dish; press lightly and smooth top.
Bake 40–45 minutes until golden and set.
For extra crispiness, broil 2–3 minutes at the end.
5. Rest & Serve
Let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes & Tips
Squeezing moisture from potatoes is key to crisp texture.
Use a glass or ceramic dish for even browning.
