Method
Preparation for Potato Dish
- Start by peeling and dicing the potatoes into small cubes. Ensure they are of uniform size for even cooking.
- Dice the onion, bell pepper, and green onions. Set aside.
Cooking the Potato Dish
- Heat sunflower oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes transparent, around 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in the bell pepper and cook for an additional minute until it softens slightly.
- Add the diced potatoes, season with salt and black pepper, and stir. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender.
- Sprinkle the cheese on top, cover the pan, and reduce the heat to low, allowing the cheese to melt.
- Once the cheese has melted, remove the pan from heat. Garnish with chopped green onions.
Cooking the Pancakes
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, milk, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
- Gradually add the flour, stirring until smooth. The batter should be pourable but slightly thick.
- Heat a non-stick pan with sunflower oil over medium heat. Pour a ladle of batter into the pan, making a thin pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Coating and Frying
- In a bowl, mix flour with a pinch of salt. Dip the cooked potato pieces first into the flour, then into breadcrumbs.
- In a clean pan, heat butter over medium heat. Fry the coated potato bites until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 3-4 minutes.
Notes
For even cooking, cut the potatoes into uniform sizes. Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding pancakes; it should sizzle gently. If you prefer healthier options, you can bake the potato bites instead of frying them. Simply place them on a baking sheet and bake at 400°F (200°C) until crispy.
