Ingredients
  

For the Pancakes
  • 1 cup Grated Onion Use yellow or white onion for a milder taste.
  • 2 cups Grated Potatoes Opt for starchy potatoes like Russets.
  • 2 large Eggs Fresh eggs yield the best results.
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Can substitute with gluten-free flour if needed.
  • 1 teaspoon Sea Salt Adjust to taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper Grinding fresh provides vibrant flavor.
For the Cheese and Herbs
  • 1 cup Fresh Mozzarella Cheese Swap for sharp cheddar or gouda for a different twist.
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Dill Chopped, or substitute with parsley or green onions.
For the Topping
  • 1 cup Ripe Tomatoes Cherry tomatoes are perfect for sweetness.
For Pan-Frying
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Vegetable oil is a suitable alternative.

Equipment

  • non-stick pan
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Grate the potatoes and onions into a mixing bowl. Add the eggs, sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, and all-purpose flour. Mix until a cohesive batter forms.
  2. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and drizzle in olive oil. Allow to heat until shimmering.
  3. Drop spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the pan, shaping into pancakes. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  4. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
  5. In a bowl, combine diced tomatoes, chopped dill, and half of the mozzarella. Mix to create a topping.
  6. Spoon the tomato-cheese mixture over pancakes, sprinkle remaining mozzarella on top, and bake for about 15 minutes, until cheese is melted.
  7. Let the pancakes cool for a few minutes before serving warm, garnished with fresh dill.
