Cooking Instructions:
- Grate the Cheese and Garlic: Grate the cheese finely and mince the garlic cloves.

- Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and grate the potatoes using a coarse grater. Add them to the garlic-mayonnaise mixture. Season with salt and pepper.
- Assemble the Casserole: Spread the potato mixture evenly into a 26 cm (10-inch) baking dish.
- Top with the Egg-Cheese Mixture: Spread the egg-cheese mixture over the top of the potato mixture.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake the casserole for 40 minutes until golden brown on top.
- Serve: Once baked, the casserole should have a golden crust. Serve hot and enjoy!
This cheesy garlic potato casserole is not only delicious but also easy to customize. You can add ground meat or mushrooms for variation, but sometimes, the simplest version with just potatoes is the most comforting. Enjoy your meal!
