Ingredients- 1 potato (about the size of a man’s fist)
- 1/4 onion
- 1 egg
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1/2 Tbsp curry powder
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the potatoes. Peel one potato, roughly the size of a man’s fist, and julienne it as thinly and finely as possible. The texture of your pancake will depend on how finely you cut the potatoes, so try to cut them evenly.
Step 2
Rinse the julienned potatoes under cold running water to remove excess starch. This step is key to achieving a crispy pancake. If you prefer a softer texture, you can skip this rinsing step and use the potatoes directly.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the drained potato shreds and thinly sliced onion. (Tip: Onion adds a wonderful depth of flavor and a hint of sweetness to the potato pancake. You can omit it if you don’t have any.) Crack in one egg, add a pinch of salt, and 1/2 tablespoon of curry powder for an aromatic touch. Mix everything together thoroughly until well combined.
Step 4
Heat a generous amount of oil in a non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Ladle a portion of the potato mixture into the pan and spread it into a round pancake shape. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown. Covering the pan with a lid during this stage helps cook the pancake through.
Step 5
Carefully flip the pancake once the bottom is golden and crisp. Once flipped, remove the lid and continue to cook over medium-low heat until both sides are golden brown and perfectly crispy. (Tip: Don’t worry if the shape isn’t perfect! The most important thing about a great potato pancake is its crispiness.)
