Ingredients

  • 1 lb Michigan potatoes
  • 1 small onion
  • 3 Tbsp flour
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup oil, for frying (if using air fryer, spray both sides)
  • 1 Just Egg (3 Tbsp)

Preparation

  1. Wash and peel Michigan potatoes. Peel onion.
  2. Grate potatoes into a bowl using cheese-grating side of four-sided grater. Grate onion.*

    *-If grating onion proves to be too much trouble, finely chopping or shredding in food processor will work.
  3. If there is excess water in potatoes (if water drips when squeezed by hand), drain the excess water.
  4. Add pinch of salt (and pinch of pepper, optional), the flour and the Just Egg. Mix well to create a batter. (This works best if done with clean hands.)
  5. Heat 2 Tbsp of oil into a pan. Add 2 Tbsp of batter to create pancakes. Do not make pancakes too thick to ensure proper cooking. You probably will only be able to fit 2-4 pancakes into pan at a time. Finished pancakes can be placed on paper towel to absorb excess oil and stored in a warm oven while rest of batter is cooked.
  6. Repeat previous step until batter is used up. Add oil as needed.
  7. Serve immediately. Try pairing with apple sauce for a sweet option. For a savory option, try adding sour cream and chives. A good chili mayo is another great option!

Olive Oil Mashed Potatoes

These wonderful mashed potatoes are inspired by the Lebanese Mediterranean style of cooking. Olive oil and yogurt provide richness and complexity, instead of the usual butter and sour cream. Choose a mild olive oil. Yukon gold potatoes really shine in this recipe! Garlic cloves cook in the pot along with buttery potatoes, mashing up beautifully for yet another savory layer of flavor.

Batata Harra

These Lebanese spicy potatoes are an obsession! Traditionally deep-fried, we achieve wonderful results roasting the potatoes to a beautiful golden brown. Your choice of potato can vary however your tastes may dictate! I love russet potatoes for this dish for their delicate flavor and fluffy texture. They are also often quite large, which make it easier to peel them and cut even cubes.
