For the Pancake Mix

  • 2 cups Potatoes starchy for extra crispiness
  • 2 large Eggs binds the ingredients together

  • 1 teaspoon Sea Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper freshly ground
For the Filling
  • 1 cup Tomatoes diced
  • 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese shredded

For Frying
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil for frying

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Baking sheet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by freshly grating the onion and starchy potatoes into a large mixing bowl. Allow the mixture to sit for a few minutes to release excess moisture, then use a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth to gently squeeze out any liquid.
  2. In the same bowl, crack in the eggs and add sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, and all-purpose flour. Stir the mixture well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated and you achieve a cohesive batter.
  3. Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and pour in a generous drizzle of olive oil, allowing it to heat for about 2 minutes.
  4. Using a spoon, carefully scoop a good amount of batter into the hot oil, and flatten it slightly with the back of the spoon to form a pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side.
  5. While pancakes are frying, take a separate bowl to mix your filling. Combine the diced tomatoes, half of the shredded mozzarella cheese, and fresh dill.
  6. Once the pancakes are fried, transfer them to a lined baking sheet. Spoon the tomato and cheese mixture over each pancake.
  7. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake the assembled pancakes for about 15 minutes.
  8. Once golden and cheesy, remove the pancakes from the oven, allow to cool slightly, and garnish with fresh dill before serving.
