Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) . Lightly grease a baking sheet or round baking pan with olive oil or cooking spray.
Step 2: Prepare the Potatoes
Peel and grate the potatoes using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. Removing excess water ensures crispiness.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the grated potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
Step 3: Shape the Potato Base
Spread the grated potatoes evenly onto the prepared baking sheet or press them into a round pan to form a flat, even layer (about 1/4-inch thick). Use the back of a spoon or your hands to press the potatoes down firmly.
Drizzle a little more olive oil over the top for extra crispiness.
Step 4: Bake
Bake for 25–30 minutes , or until the edges are golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip the potato base over using a spatula (if using a baking sheet) or simply check the underside (if using a pan) to ensure it’s fully cooked and golden.
Step 5: Add Cheese
Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top of the baked potato base. Return it to the oven for 5–7 minutes , or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
