Presenter / Channel

  • Channel: @canalda Cléono (mentioned by the presenter)
  • Note: “recipe and ingredients will be in the video description” (no specific link/source provided in subtitles)

Ingredients (with quantities / substitutions)

  • Potato: 1 large potato, grated
    • If small: use 2 potatoes
  • Onion: half an onion, grated (some pieces left are fine)
  • Eggs: 2 eggs
  • Salt: to taste
  • Spicy paprika: a little bit (optional)
  • Black pepper: a little bit (to taste / “use whatever seasoning you like”)
  • Mozzarella cheese: 30 g, grated
  • Cornstarch: 1 spoonful
  • Oil for frying: “a little bit”
    • Substitutions mentioned: olive oil or grease with margarine
  • Fresh herbs (optional): 1 spoonful chopped parsley

Equipment / Prep Steps

  • Grater (to grate potato and onion; also to grate mozzarella)
  • Bowl/basin (larger one used after grating)
  • Frying pan (for frying “little cakes/steaks”)

Technique cues:

  • Be careful with hands while grating.
  • If grating breaks off larger onion pieces, it’s okay—they can be mixed in later.

Step-by-Step Method (technique-focused)

  1. Grate the potato
    • Grate a large potato first (or 2 potatoes if the first is small).
  2. Prepare onion
    • Grate half an onion and set aside to mix in later.
  3. Mix the base
    • Transfer grated potato to a larger bowl.
    • Add 2 eggs.
    • Season with:
      • Salt (to taste)
      • Spicy paprika (optional)
      • Black pepper
    • Add 30 g grated mozzarella.
    • Add 1 spoonful cornstarch.
  4. Add optional herbs
    • Mix in 1 spoonful chopped parsley (optional).
  5. Combine
    • Mix well until everything is incorporated.
    • Seasonings are “to taste.”
  6. Fry into small cakes (“steaks”)
    • Heat a little oil in a frying pan.
    • If no oil: use olive oil or margarine to grease.
    • Shape and fry as small “little cakes/steaks”:
      • Make them two at a time (in batches).
  7. Serve
    • Once the potato steaks are ready, taste and serve immediately.
    • Subtitles emphasize an up-close look and serving right away.

Tips / Notes / Common Issues

  • No meat at home? Presented as a meatless lunch using potato + eggs.
  • If onion pieces are large: it’s okay—mixes in and adds flavor.
  • For extra flavor: add mozzarella and optionally parsley.
  • Cornstarch can be messy: subtitles mention it “jumps far,” but the instruction is simply to add and mix.

Variations Discussed

  • Spicy paprika: optional
  • Fresh herbs (parsley): optional
  • If potato is small: use 2 potatoes
  • Frying fat substitute: oil → olive oil or margarine
