Technique to learn

Dehydrating Grated Potato Batter

Removing water content from root vegetables ensures quick moisture evaporation and optimal crispness during shallow frying.

Instructions

Step 1: Place grated potatoes and onion in a clean kitchen towel, squeeze firmly to extract maximum liquid, and place dried mixture into a bowl.

Step 2: Stir egg, flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and half a teaspoon of black pepper into the grated potato mixture to form a thick batter.

Step 3: Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat, brown mushrooms for 6 minutes, turn heat to low, stir in sour cream and half the dill, and warm gently without boiling.

Step 4: Heat remaining oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 5: Spoon batter into the skillet, flattening into 1cm thick patties, and fry for 4 minutes per side until deeply golden and crispy.

Step 6: Drain fried potato pancakes on paper towels, plate immediately, and spoon the warm creamy mushroom sauce over top with fresh dill.

Cooking tips

Thoroughly squeezing liquid from grated potatoes is critical to achieving crispy pancakes rather than soggy ones.
Do not let the sour cream boil when making the sauce to prevent splitting.
