Prepare the Potatoes:
Peel and grate the potatoes. Place the grated potatoes in a bowl of water and let them sit for 5 minutes. Drain and squeeze out excess moisture. This ensures the patties are crispy.
Mix the Ingredients:
Finely chop the onion and add it to the grated potatoes. Add flour, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
Fry the Potato Cakes:
Heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Form the potato mixture into small patties and fry until golden brown on both sides. Place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Prepare the Toppings:
Slice the tomatoes and grate the cheese. Finely chop the spring onions. Mix Italian herbs and ground chili pepper.
Assemble the Dish:
Place the fried patties on a baking sheet. Top each with a slice of tomato and grated cheese. Sprinkle with spring onions, Italian herbs, and ground chili pepper.
Bake:
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Prepare the Sauce:
In a small bowl, combine sour cream, finely chopped dill, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
Serve:
Serve the potato patties hot, with the garlic-dill sauce on the side for dipping.
