Ingredients:

  • 2 large potatoes, peeled and shredded
  • 1 tablespoon black tea powder
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (optional, for extra flavor)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, for garnish
  • Vegetable oil, for cooking

Instructions:

Prepare the Black Tea Marinade:

  • In a small bowl, mix the black tea powder with the boiling water. Allow the tea to steep for 3-4 minutes, then strain and let it cool. This mixture will be used to add a unique flavor to the pancakes.

Prepare the Potatoes:

  • Place the shredded potatoes in a large bowl and pour the cooled black tea marinade over them. Let the potatoes sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the tea flavor.

Make the Pancake Batter:

  • In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. Add the chopped onion, shredded cheese (if using), salt, and black pepper to the eggs and mix well.
  • Add the marinated potatoes to the egg mixture and gently combine, taking care not to overmix.

Cook the Pancakes:

  • Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of vegetable oil to coat the surface.
  • Spoon about 1/4 cup of the potato and egg mixture onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until the edges are set and the bottom is golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Flip the pancakes and cook the other side until set and golden, another 2-3 minutes.

Serve:

  • Remove the pancakes from the skillet and transfer them to a serving plate. Garnish with chopped fresh chives.
  • Serve the shredded potato and egg pancakes warm, with additional toppings like sour cream or ketchup if desired.
  • Enjoy your Shredded Potato and Egg Pancakes with a hint of black tea flavor, perfect for a hearty breakfast or a filling brunch. The combination of crispy potatoes and tender eggs creates a satisfying and delicious meal.
