Yen Can Cook: Potato Pancake
Do you like root vegetables? Potato, sweet potato, carrot, onion, beet, just to name a few. This may not sound like a very appetizing list of vegetables, but trust me, it’s all about how they are prepared! Think potato soup, carrot cake, roasted sweet potatoes, gratins and hash brown, they sound really yummy right? Here’s another simple recipe in form of potato pancake or potato omelet, great for kid who don’t like potato. It can be a vegetarian dish too if you replace the butter in the recipe with vegetable oil.
Ingredients (Serve: 2-3)
2 medium potatoes
4 tablespoons corn kernels (fresh or canned)
3 eggs
2 teaspoons butter
Salt and black pepper to taste
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Step 1: Peel the skin of the potatoes and grate/cut them into thin strips.
Step 2: Heat a skillet then melt the butter, put in grated potatoes. Stir fry with low heat until slight golden brown. Add in corn kernels, season with black pepper and salt. Stir fry for 1-2 minutes, dish up and set aside.
Note: Cook the corn kernels if you are using fresh one.
Step 3: Beat the egg in a large bowl.
Step 4: Let the potato (Step 2) slightly cool down then add into the beaten egg (Step 3). Mix until well combined.
Step 5: Heat up the skillet, turn to low heat, scoop the mixture onto the skillet. Brown on both sides and serve hot.
HAPPY COOKING!
Reminds me of rosti
Similar grated potato but egg is added, more like a potato omelet 🙂
I tried making potato rosti once and it didn’t turn out that crisp coz there seems to be quite a lot of water content in grated potatoes (and you actually have to squeeze the grated potatoes). But since this already have a liquid content (eggs), the potatoes can be added without squeezing them first, so I think it’ll be something I’m game to make 🙂
Yes, I know we need to squeeze out the water if making rosti, but this recipe need to stir fry the grated potato so the water will be dry out during the cooking process.
我觉得要在一边烹饪一边拍照记录过程是非常不简单的！！给你大大的掌声！！这道我喜欢，感觉老少咸宜的一道料理，应该特别会吸引小朋友的耶！！就是刨马铃薯丝这个工序有点累，哈哈哈！！好懒的我！！
谢谢你的鼓励，但做自己喜欢的事情，麻烦点也不会觉得累，能得到读者的回应就一切都值得了 🙂
刨丝还好啦，有工具辅助，不会太累人 🙂
That looks good. Very nice for breakfast or a light meal.
Indeed, weekends breakfast perhaps as weekday is too rush, haha LOL
This is yummy and I love it because of the potatoes.
High 5 to the love of potato!
