Potato pancakes

Ingredients:

  • 2 big potatoes
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 1 small onion
  • flour
  • 10 twists of black pepper
  • yoghurt
  • 10g garlic (about 2 cloves)
  • fresh herbs (parsley and dill with all the stems, mint)
  • feta

Methods:

  • Grate the potatoes and place them in a bowl. Add salt, mix it in with your hands and set it aside.
  • Finely chop the onion.
  • Place a new large bowl onto a kitchen scale. Transfer grated potatoes into a new bowl by hand, squeezing juice out of each handful. You must have a dry looking pile of potatoes in the new bowl. Note how many grams of dry potatoes you have.
  • Add 4% of flour by weight (4g of flour for every 100g of potatoes). Add onion and black pepper. Mix it with your hands..
  • Heat olive oil in a large non-stick pan.
  • Scatter the potato mixture over the pan and use a flipper to flatten it into one big pancake. Flip it once it looks lightly brown on the bottom.
  • While frying the pancake, put yoghurt into a small bowl. Very roughly chop garlic and herbs, add them to the youghurt and handblender it into a smooth sauce. Crumble in the feta.
  • Serve the pancakes with the yoghurt dip.
