G’day It’s Jo Barrett from Oak Ridge here. I’ve got a lot of recipes to share with you. Today we’re going to be making a Potato Cake, kind of a rustic dish, perfect for breakfast or for lunch.
I’ve got a kilo of potatoes here, we’re just gonna peel them. Once the potatoes are peeled, we’re just gonna give them a grate of the course side of the grater.
Hello pickles, Hello… Hello…
Once the potatoes is grated, we’re just gonna give it a rinse under cold water to get rid of any excess starch and from here, we’re just gonna squeeze out any of this water. You can see they are falling apart and are not so starchy anymore.
We’re just gonna add a bit of flavour and this is where I guess you get free rein of what you get to put into it. I’m gonna add some garlic and just some herbs I had in the garden and in the fridge, so just some parsley and some basil there. So I’m just gonna microplane the garlic clove in, just raw. And then we’ve got our herbs, just rough chop them up. Now this is where I pop in a bit of seasoning, so a bit of salt, pepper. And then before we add in any oil of flour, just gonna disperse all the herbs and the garlic through the potato. I’ve got the oven pre-heating to 170, then I’m gonna add in about 60mls of oil. Again, give that a mix before you add any flour. And then I’ve just got plain flour and popping in about 60 grams, and this is just gonna bind it all together.
You could put any herbs or any flavouring you like in this, you could put bacon or could put some cheese. And we’re just gonna start pushing the potatoes down to the bottom of the bowl. We’ll start cooking.
So I’m gonna add quite a generous amount of oil to the pan. So I’m gonna just slide the potato down and pressing it out and I’m just gonna leave it on a medium heat for about 5 minutes just to get a really nice colour. And then we’re gonna flip it and pop it into the oven.
Alrighty, 15 minutes, it’s done. Looks nice and crisp, alright and now that that’s ready we’re just gonna serve it. Super crunchy!
Now I’ve fried and egg and I’ve got some Kim Chi and then a little bit of coriander. So I’ve got a potato cake, fried and egg and Kim Chi. Yummy!
