Isobemaki Potato Cake (Potato cake wrapped with a piece of nori)

One of the Japanese-style bars that I sometimes go to has this special dish. It’s so delicious and you can easily cook it at home. I often cook some for my husband for his beer snacks. There isn’t any hassle either. All you have to do is to grate some potatoes and cook! Grated potato has a very interesting texture, which you can’t really get by boiling them. Got your apron ready?

Tips

1. If you put grated potato in a frying pan, it gets very watery. Don’t worry about it so much. You can make adequate shapes with chopsticks and a spoon and they will set once they’re cooked.

• Eri san recommended that we add some cheese to grated potato. It worked really well.
