Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 medium potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon flour or cornstarch
  • 1 large tortilla or wrap

Optional Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, feta, or mozzarella)
  • Chopped parsley or chives

Instructions

  1. Prepare and Shred the Potatoes: Peel the potatoes and shred them finely using a grater. Place the shredded potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible to ensure maximum crispiness.
  2. Season and Bind the Potatoes: Transfer the dried shredded potatoes to a mixing bowl. Stir in salt, pepper, and the tablespoon of flour or cornstarch to help the potatoes hold together during cooking.
  3. Cook the Potato Layer: Heat olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Spread the potato mixture evenly, pressing down gently to form a compact pancake-like shape. Cook for 5–7 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy, then carefully flip to crisp the other side.
  4. Cook the Eggs: In a separate pan, scramble or fry the eggs lightly seasoned with salt and pepper. If using cheese, sprinkle it on the eggs while still hot to allow it to melt evenly.
  5. Assemble the Wrap: Warm the tortilla or wrap slightly to make it pliable. Place the crispy potato pancake on the wrap, layer the cooked eggs on top, and sprinkle with fresh herbs if desired. Roll it up tightly and serve warm.

Notes

  • Dry the potatoes well to avoid sogginess and ensure crispiness.
  • Use medium heat to cook the potatoes slowly for even crisping without burning.
  • Press down firmly on the potato mixture while cooking to make a sturdier base.
  • Warm the tortilla to make it easier to roll without cracking.
  • Customize seasoning with your preferred herbs and spices for unique flavors.
