Ingredients

  • 500 g potatoes
  • 200 g all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp fresh herbs (chives or parsley)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Peel and grate the 500g potatoes, then squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, mix the grated potatoes with 200g flour, 2 eggs, 2 tbsp herbs, 1 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp pepper until well combined.

  3. 3

    Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Scoop the potato mixture into the pan, pressing into an even 2cm-thick round.

  4. 4

    Cook for 8-10 minutes until the bottom is golden and crispy, then carefully flip the bread using a plate.

  5. 5

    Cook the other side for another 8-10 minutes until golden and cooked through. The bread should feel firm and sound hollow when tapped.

  6. 6

    Slide onto a cutting board, let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into wedges and serve warm.
