Savory meets sweet: Crispy Potato Pancake with Spiced Apple

Crispy Potato Pancake with Spiced Apple Compote

Today, I’m excited to share a unique twist on a classic comfort food – the crispy potato pancake with spiced apple compote. This dish is perfect for a cozy fall evening, blending the savory crunch of the pancake with the sweet and aromatic flavors of the spiced apple compote. It’s a delightful combination that will warm your soul and satisfy your taste buds.

Ingredients:

• 3 large russet potatoes (450g)
• 1 small onion (100g)
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 apples, peeled and diced (300g)
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

Kitchen Tools:

• grater
• mixing bowl
• skillet
• spatula

To start, peel and grate the potatoes and onion into a mixing bowl. Squeeze out any excess moisture from the mixture using a clean kitchen towel. Add in the egg and flour, and season with salt and pepper. Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat, then spoon the potato mixture into the skillet, pressing it down to form a pancake. Cook until golden and crispy on both sides.

In another skillet, melt butter and add in the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook until the apples are tender and caramelized, creating a fragrant and spiced compote.

Serve the crispy potato pancake hot with a generous spoonful of the warm spiced apple compote on top. The contrast of textures and flavors will delight your senses, making each bite a truly comforting experience.

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 850g, with 4 servings at 212.5g each. Each serving is approximately 280 calories.

One clever tip for this dish is to mix shredded cheddar cheese into the potato mixture before cooking for an extra gooey and cheesy pancake.

I hope you give this crispy potato pancake with spiced apple compote a try and make it your own by adding your favorite spices or toppings. Enjoy!
