How to store and reheat

Storage Method

Refrigerated storage: If you want to eat them in a short time, you can wrap the potato cakes with plastic wrap and put them in the refrigerator at 2-4℃. They can be kept for 1-2 days.

Freezer storage: If you want to store it longer, wrap the cooled potato cakes with plastic wrap, then put them in a plastic bag or a sealed freezer bag, and put them in the freezer with the temperature set below -18℃. The potato pancakes can be stored for several months. Just take them out and thaw them in advance when you want to eat them.

Heating method

Heating in an air fryer: Take out the frozen or refrigerated potato cakes, without thawing, and put them directly into the preheated air fryer. Heat at 160-180℃ for 5-8 minutes, until the surface is golden and the inside is heated through.

Oven heating: Preheat the oven to 180℃, then place the potato cakes on a baking tray and bake for 8-10 minutes. You can turn them over halfway through the process. Heat until the potato cakes are heated through and the surface is crispy.

Heat the pan: Brush a thin layer of oil on the pan, turn on low heat, put the potato cakes in, heat them slowly, and turn them over from time to time until both sides are hot and crispy. This will allow the potato cakes to maintain a certain crispy texture.

Microwave heating: Place the potato cakes in a microwave-safe container and heat on high heat for 1-2 minutes. However, heating in the microwave may make the potato cakes a little softer and less crispy.

Recipe Tips:

Cut the potato into thin strips: Cut the potato into thin strips, it is easier to fry and the taste is better. If you find it troublesome to cut the strips, you can also grate them, but the grated strips will make the pancakes softer, while the cut strips will be chewier.

The consistency of the batter should be moderate: do not use too much water, pour it in little by little. The amount of water should be determined mainly by the water absorption of the flour. The batter should be enough to hang on the shredded potatoes. Do not make it too thin, otherwise it will be difficult to form a shape when baked.

Control the heat: When frying the pancake, the heat should be lower and the oil should not be too little, otherwise the outside will be burnt and the inside will not be cooked. You can fry it slowly over medium-low heat to ensure that both sides are fried until golden and crispy.

Add seasoning to enhance the flavor: Add appropriate amount of salt, pepper, chopped green onion, chili powder and other seasonings to the shredded potatoes to enhance the flavor. You can also add oyster sauce, shredded ham and other ingredients to make the pancakes more delicious.

Using an air fryer: If using an air fryer, preheat to 170 degrees and bake for 15 minutes, turning it over once halfway through. This can save time and have good results.
