Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Grate the potatoes and onion into a large mixing bowl. Drain excess moisture from the grated potatoes.
  2. Add the eggs, sea salt, black pepper, and all-purpose flour to the bowl. Mix until well combined.
  3. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add olive oil.
  4. Drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the hot pan, slightly flatten them, and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes on each side.
  5. Transfer cooked pancakes onto paper towels to drain excess oil.
  6. In a separate bowl, mix the diced tomatoes with half the shredded mozzarella and fresh dill.
  7. Once pancakes are cooked, divide the tomato-cheese mixture among them. Top with remaining mozzarella.
  8. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for about 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
  9. Serve warm garnished with extra fresh dill.
