The book gives 2 mārciņas of potatoes, 1 mārciņa of butter and 15 eggs, which converts to about 840 g potatoes, 420 g butter and 15 eggs; sugar is to taste. We've used a third.

Method

7 soļi
  1. Boil the potatoes in their skins for 20–25 minutes, until tender. Drain, peel while warm and leave to cool completely; they grate best if chilled overnight. Grate them finely, or press them through a potato ricer, and weigh out 280 g.
  2. Heat the oven to 170 °C (150 °C fan). Butter a 1.5 l ovenproof dish and put it in a roasting tin.
  3. Beat the butter for 3–4 minutes, until pale and creamy. Beat in the yolks one at a time, then the sugar and lemon zest.
  4. Add the potato a spoonful at a time, beating until smooth.
  5. Whisk the whites until stiff and fold them in. Spoon the mixture into the dish.
  6. Pour hot water into the roasting tin to a depth of 2 cm. Bake for 45–55 minutes, until risen, golden and set in the middle.
  7. Serve at once; it sinks a little as it cools.

Notes

What the book says vs. what we added

the book boils, peels and finely grates the potatoes, beats 1 mārciņa of butter for every 2 mārciņas of potatoes "like cream" with 15 yolks, sugar and the zest of a lemon, adds the potatoes a little at a time, then folds in the whites beaten stiff. The mixture goes in a dish, set in a tart pan with salt or sand on the bottom, and is baked. The sugar amount, the water bath, the oven temperature and the times are ours.

Salt or sand

the layer of salt or sand under the dish kept the bottom from scorching over coals. A water bath does the same in an oven; or stand the dish on a 1 cm layer of coarse salt in a roasting tin, as the book does.

Potatoes

use a floury variety; waxy potatoes make a heavy, gluey mixture. Boiling them a day ahead and chilling them dries them out and makes them grate cleanly.
