Ingredients

  • 2 medium Potatoes (Russet potatoes work best)
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 4-5 tbsp Vegetable oil
  • ½ cup Shredded kashar cheese, mozzarella, or mild cheddar
  • 3-4 slices Beef salami or turkey/chicken deli meat
  • 1 small Tomato, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup Fresh arugula
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1 pinch Black pepper

Equipment

  • Large Non-Stick Skillet: Essential for getting that even, golden crust.
  • Pastry Brush: To apply the signature crispy glaze.
  • Chef's Knife: For fine slicing of potatoes and onions.
  • Mixing Bowl: To toss your potato filling with spices.

Method

  1. Grate the potatoes using the coarse side of your grater. Crucial Step: Place the grated potatoes in a kitchen towel and squeeze out every drop of excess liquid. This ensures maximum crispiness.

  2. Heat the oil in a non-stick or granite skillet over medium heat. Spread the potatoes evenly, pressing them down with a spatula to form a flat disc.
  3. Fry until the bottom is golden brown and holds together (about 5-7 minutes).

  4. Whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pour them evenly over the potatoes. Cover the pan with a lid and lower the heat for 2 minutes to let the eggs set.
  5. Once the eggs are cooked, place the cheese, salami, and tomatoes on one half of the potato disc. Top with fresh arugula.

Notes

For extra crispiness, cook the grated or thinly sliced potatoes in a single layer in a hot pan and avoid stirring too often. Let them develop a golden crust before flipping.
