Baekpa’s Special Potato Pancake Ingredients- 2 slices of cheese (cheddar or mozzarella, your choice)
- 2 homemade sausages (can be substituted with regular ham)
- 2 medium potatoes (approx. 300g)
- 2 fresh eggs
- A pinch of cooking salt (about 1/2 tsp)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, peel the potatoes and cut them into thin strips, about 2-3mm thick. If they are too thick, they will take longer to cook. Cut the homemade sausages into strips similar in thickness to the potatoes. (You can also cut the sausages into smaller pieces if you prefer.)
Step 2
Place the julienned potatoes in cold water for about 5 minutes to remove excess starch. This helps prevent the potato strips from sticking together and makes for a cleaner pancake. Squeeze out excess water, place the potatoes in a bowl, add a pinch of salt, and gently mix them. Ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Step 3
Heat a frying pan over medium-low heat and add a generous amount of cooking oil. Add all the seasoned potato strips and spread them out evenly. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the potatoes are golden brown and slightly crispy around the edges. Be careful not to use too high heat, as they might burn.
Step 4
Once the potatoes are partially cooked, create small wells in the potato mixture and crack an egg into each space. As the eggs begin to set slightly, place the 2 slices of cheese over the top. Immediately cover the pan with a lid. Cook over low heat for about 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the eggs are cooked to your desired doneness. (Reduce the time for a runnier yolk.)
Step 5
Carefully transfer the well-cooked potato pancake to a serving plate. If desired, sprinkle with sesame seeds for an extra nutty flavor. The combination of the golden-brown potato pancake, soft egg, and gooey melted cheese is truly delightful! Enjoy your meal.
