Main Ingredients- 4 medium potatoes
- 1 Tbsp potato starch
- 2 eggs
- Cooking oil, as needed
- 0.2 Tbsp salt
- A pinch of black pepper (approx. 0.1 Tbsp)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, peel the potatoes thoroughly. Then, using a knife or a julienne peeler, thinly slice them into fine shreds. Slicing them thinly will ensure the potato pancake turns out extra crispy and delicious.
Step 2
Place all the shredded potatoes into a large bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of potato starch and gently mix with your hands until the starch evenly coats the potatoes. Adding starch helps the potato pancake become more chewy and less likely to break apart.
Step 3
Now, heat a frying pan over medium heat. Add a generous amount of cooking oil, then carefully place the mixed potato shreds into the pan.
Step 4
Once the potatoes are in the pan, use a spatula or spoon to spread them out as thinly and evenly as possible into a round shape. If the potato layer is too thick, it might be difficult to cook through.
Step 5
After spreading the potatoes, cover the pan with a lid for a moment. Maintain medium heat and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until one side of the potatoes turns golden brown and crispy. Be mindful of the heat to prevent burning.
Step 6
While the potatoes are cooking, crack 2 eggs into another bowl. Add about 0.2 Tbsp of salt to season. Whisk the egg whites and yolks together until well combined.
Step 7
Sprinkle about 0.1 Tbsp of black pepper into the egg mixture to enhance the flavor of the potato pancake. You can adjust the amount of pepper to your preference.
Step 8
Once the bottom of the potato pancake is golden brown and crispy, carefully flip it over. Immediately after flipping, pour the prepared egg mixture evenly over the potato pancake.
Step 9
After pouring the egg mixture, spread it out as widely as possible to prevent it from spilling over the sides of the pan. Then, cover the pan again and cook over low heat until the egg is completely set. Be careful not to use heat that is too high, as it might burn the egg.
Step 10
Once the egg is fully cooked and beautifully combined with the potato pancake, carefully transfer the delicious egg potato pancake to a plate. It’s best enjoyed warm immediately!
