Ingredients- 1 medium potato
- 1 large egg
- 1 stalk scallion
- 2 Tbsp shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 pinch paprika powder (for garnish)
- 2 slices butter
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
- A little cooking oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Wash the potato thoroughly. You can peel it or leave the skin on, then slice it thinly. Finely chop the scallion. While julienned scallions work, finely chopped ones distribute more evenly when mixed with the egg.
Step 2
In a bowl, crack the egg and beat it well. Add the chopped scallions, a pinch of salt, and pepper, then mix thoroughly. The fragrant scallions will blend with the egg mixture to enhance the flavor.
Step 3
Melt 2 slices of butter in a pan over medium-low heat. Once the butter is melted, arrange the sliced potatoes in the pan, overlapping them slightly. Overlapping them will create a chewier and more substantial texture when cooked. Lightly season the potatoes with salt and pepper.
Step 4
Once the potato slices start to turn slightly golden, pour the prepared egg mixture evenly over the entire potato base. When the egg begins to set, generously sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top. The melting cheese will create a fantastic blend with the potatoes. Cover the pan with a lid and cook over low heat until the cheese is fully melted and the egg is cooked through. Be mindful of the heat to prevent burning.
Step 5
Once the potato and egg pancake is golden brown and the cheese is deliciously melted, carefully transfer the finished pancake to a plate. Finally, lightly dust with paprika powder for a vibrant color. Your pizza-style potato and egg pancake is ready! It’s best enjoyed warm.
