For 2 serving

Ingredients

3 medium potatoes
3 eggs
5 slices of mozzarella (or another favorite cheese)
a handful of chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon butter
salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper
ground paprika to taste

Preparation procedure

Preparing the potatoes Peel the potatoes and use a vegetable peeler to make long strips. Place them in a bowl of water and let rest for 5–10 minutes to remove excess starch.
Preparing the egg mixture In a bowl, whisk the eggs with the chopped parsley, salt, pepper, and ground paprika. Mix well.
Combining the potatoes with the mixture Drain the potato strips and fold them into the prepared egg mixture so they are coated on all sides.
Frying the first layer Heat the olive oil with a knob of butter in a pan. Spread half of the potato mixture evenly. Top with the cheese slices.
Finishing and flipping Cover with the remaining potato mixture, season with salt and pepper. Fry over low heat for 10 minutes, then use a large plate to flip the pancake and briefly fry the other side as well (about 2–3 minutes).
Serving Transfer the finished pancake to a plate, let it rest briefly, then cut into portions and serve on its own or with a vegetable salad.
