‘Okonomiyaki’ is a popular Japanese dish that is known by many but ‘Oyaki’ hasn’t been known. There are many variations these days and this ‘Potato Oyaki’ is quite popular. Some recipes cook the potatoes first, then mash. Some other recipes grate uncooked potatoes and use potato starch flour. I always shred the potatoes and use rice flour. The result is crispy outside like rice cracker and rubbery soft inside.

This is a savoury pancake recipe using only Salt for seasoning. Adding other spices and ingredients such as cheese and greens, you can create hundreds of different ‘Oyaki’ pancakes. Enjoy!
