Main Ingredients- 1 medium potato
- 2 pinches of salt
- 1 Tbsp tempura powder
- Pinch of black pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare one medium-sized potato. Cut it in half and use a peeler to thinly shave off the skin. This method allows you to create much thinner potato strands than using a knife, resulting in a crispier pancake. One potato makes about a single serving of this potato pancake. Feel free to use more potatoes if you wish.
Step 2
After peeling the potato with a peeler, rinse it under running water to remove excess starch. This step is key to achieving a crispier texture in your finished pancake.
Step 3
To the peeled potato, add 1 tablespoon of tempura powder, 2 pinches of salt, and a pinch of black pepper to your liking. Mix everything together until the potato strands are evenly coated. The tempura powder will help absorb moisture, contributing to a crispier result.
Step 4
Pour 1 tablespoon of cooking oil into the bottom of your rice cooker pot. Use a spatula or spoon to spread the oil thinly and evenly across the entire base. This prevents the potato strands from sticking and ensures the pancake cooks uniformly.
Step 5
Spread the potato strands, coated with tempura powder, thinly and evenly over the oiled bottom of the rice cooker. Be careful not to pile them too thick; aim to cover the entire base in a single layer.
Step 6
Select the ‘Reheat’ function on your rice cooker and cook for 9 minutes. If your rice cooker doesn’t have a ‘Reheat’ function, you can use the ‘Cook’ button, and once it finishes, switch to ‘Reheat’ or ‘Warm’ mode for 9 minutes.
Step 7
For an even crispier pancake, after the initial 9-minute cooking cycle, run the ‘Reheat’ function for another 9 minutes. This double reheating process will enhance the texture for a more delightful bite.
Step 8
Carefully remove the cooked potato pancake from the rice cooker and serve on a plate. Your delicious potato pancake is ready! It tastes best served warm. You can enjoy it as is, or with a side of ketchup or soy sauce, according to your preference. 🙂
