For the Yuzu Hollandaise

Method

Prepare the Crispy Potato Parmesan Cakes

1

Cook the Potatoes

Peel and grate the Russet potatoes. Place them in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.

2

Mix Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, Parmesan cheese, flour, eggs, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

3

Form Cakes

Form the mixture into small, flat cakes about 2-3 inches in diameter.

4

Cook Cakes

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Fry the potato cakes until golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Poach the Eggs

5

Prepare Poaching Water

Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer and add the white vinegar.

6

Poach Eggs

Crack each egg into a small bowl and gently slide it into the simmering water. Poach for 3-4 minutes or until whites are set but yolks are still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Make the Yuzu Hollandaise

7

Whisk Egg Yolks

In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and yuzu juice.

8

Heat and Emulsify

Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler). Whisk continuously while slowly adding the melted butter until the mixture is thick and creamy. Season with salt and white pepper.

Assemble the Dish

9

Plate the Dish

On each plate, place a couple of crispy potato Parmesan cakes, top with sautéed spinach, and a poached egg. Drizzle with yuzu hollandaise and serve with slices of Mangalitsa ham.
