Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Introducing the Pollack Roe Potato Pancake – a delightful dish that balances the savory taste of pollack roe with the mild sweetness of potatoes.
Step 2
Prepare your main ingredients: 100g of pollack roe and 4 medium potatoes.
Step 3
Gently rinse the pollack roe. Using the tip of a knife, carefully remove the thin outer membrane. Then, separate the roe pearls from the membrane. This step ensures you get the delightful pop of the roe.
Step 4
Peel the potatoes and wash them thoroughly. Use a mandoline slicer or a knife to julienne the potatoes into thin strips. Rinsing the shredded potatoes in cold water helps remove excess starch, leading to a crispier pancake.
Step 5
In a mixing bowl, combine the julienned potatoes and the prepared pollack roe pearls. Add 5 tablespoons of flour, a pinch of salt, and a little black pepper. Gently mix everything with your hands until well combined, forming a cohesive batter.
Step 6
Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add a generous amount of olive oil. Spoon portions of the potato and pollack roe mixture into the hot oil, shaping them into thin, round pancakes. Press the pollack roe gently into the center of each pancake. Fry on both sides until golden brown and crispy, achieving a texture similar to deep-frying. Be mindful of the heat to prevent burning.
Step 7
Wash and finely chop the scallions. Sprinkle the chopped scallions over the cooked pancakes for a fresh garnish and to complete the presentation of your Pollack Roe Potato Pancakes.
Step 8
And there you have it! Your delicious Pollack Roe Potato Pancakes are ready. Enjoy the perfect combination of crispy exterior and tender interior, bursting with the umami flavor of pollack roe.
