Key Ingredients- 4 medium-sized fresh potatoes
- A handful of fresh chives
- 1 fresh egg
- 1 tablespoon (Tbsp) high-quality potato starch
- 7-8 cloves whole garlic
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Wash and peel the 4 fresh potatoes thoroughly. Grate the potatoes finely using a grater or blend them smoothly using a blender. Today, we’re using a blender! Don’t remove the moisture released from the potatoes; use it as is to enhance the chewy texture unique to potatoes.
Step 2
Wash the fragrant chives, pat them dry, and finely chop them. Place the chopped chives in a bowl.
Step 3
Add 1 fresh egg and 1 tablespoon of potato starch to the bowl with the chives. Adding potato starch helps the batter become chewier and crispier when cooked.
Step 4
Mix all ingredients thoroughly with a spatula or chopsticks until well combined. Finally, add a pinch of salt to enhance the savory flavor, and your delicious potato pancake batter is ready! Ensure the batter consistency is neither too runny nor too thick.
Step 5
Peel and thinly slice the 7-8 whole garlic cloves. Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a pan over medium-low heat and gently fry the sliced garlic. Be careful not to burn the garlic; cook until golden brown. This infuses the oil with a wonderful garlic aroma, enhancing the flavor.
Step 6
Once the garlic is golden brown, carefully remove it to a separate dish. Use the garlic-infused oil remaining in the pan to cook the potato pancakes. This oil will add a deep flavor to your pancakes.
Step 7
Pour the prepared potato pancake batter thinly onto the heated pan and cook slowly over medium-low heat. It’s important to cook it well so the batter doesn’t stick to the pan.
Step 8
When the bottom of the pancake is golden brown, carefully flip it over. Cook both sides until golden and crispy. Finally, top the potato pancake with the reserved fried garlic for an extra delicious touch. If you like, you can also add some grilled cheese on top and let it melt!
