Crique Ardéchoise - Potato Pancake Recipe
Flavors of France
Total time: 15 to 30 minutes
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 12 minutes
Difficulty: Easy
Chef's Note
Tip
The egg whites add crispness to the pancake, unlike the cream or egg yolks found in some recipes. Serve this as a side with any meat dish.
If you're preparing the potato pancake for 4 people, use 2 pans, or keep the first one warm in a low oven while you prepare the second.
Ingredients
For 4 servings
- 8 nice yellow-fleshed potatoes
- 2 egg whites
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 6 Tbsp. olive oil + 4 Tbsp. sunflower or vegetable oil
- parsley, salt and pepper
Method
- Grate the potatoes into a bowl. Add the egg whites, salt, pepper and finely chopped garlic. Mix well with a fork.
- Heat a large skillet with the two oils. When very hot, scatter in the potato mixture to form a large thin pancake.
- Let brown, then flip like a pancake. Cover and cook 10-12 minutes longer, shaking the pan from time to time.
- Remove all the oil (it can be used for other pancakes). Wipe the outside of the skillet to be safe. Cook for 1 minute and serve.
