Ingredients- 3 medium-sized potatoes
- 2 Tbsp potato starch
- Pinch of salt (adjust to taste)
- 1 piece pollack roe
- 1 egg
- Generous amount of cooking oil (for pan-frying)
- A little chopped green onion (for garnish)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Peel the thoroughly washed potatoes and julienne them as thinly as possible. Cutting them too thick can prevent them from cooking evenly, so thin slicing is key for a great texture.
Step 2
Slice the pollack roe in half lengthwise. Using the back of a knife, gently scrape the roe out of the membrane. Removing the membrane is important for a smoother texture.
Step 3
In a bowl, combine the julienned potatoes, separated pollack roe, potato starch, and a pinch of salt. Mix well. The potato starch helps bind the ingredients, and the salt balances the inherent saltiness of the pollack roe. Taste and adjust the salt as needed.
Step 4
Heat a pan over medium heat and add a generous amount of cooking oil. Spoon the potato and pollack roe mixture into the pan, shaping it into a round, donut-like form. Avoid making it too thick so the inside cooks thoroughly.
Step 5
Cook for a few minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip the pancake with a spatula. Once the center is slightly set, crack the egg directly into the middle and let it spread.
Step 6
Once the egg white is mostly cooked and no longer transparent, turn off the heat. Carefully transfer the finished pancake to a serving plate. Be gentle to avoid breaking it as you plate.
Step 7
Finally, garnish with the chopped green onions for a pop of color and fresh flavor. Your delicious pollack roe and potato pancakes are ready to be enjoyed! Best served warm.
