Ingredients 

  • 700 grams red potatoes I use Desiree
  • ½ cup kale finely sliced
  • ½ cup Chinese Napa cabbage
  • 1 cup + 1 tbs panko bread cups
  • pinch sea salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoon red miso paste
  • 3 tbs vegan or regular mayonnaise
  • 1 ½ teaspoon warm water
  • 2 tbs peanut oil
  • 1 shallot whites cut in to 1 inch diagonals, greens sliced finely
  • 1 teaspoon sushi seasoning mix or dried seaweed finely sliced and chia seeds
  • pickled ginger to serve

Instructions

  • Place potatoes in a large pot of cold water and put on medium heat. Cook for 25 minutes or until cooked through but not falling apart.
  • Remove from heat and strain in a colander. Set aside to cool for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the miso paste with 1 ½ teaspoons of warm water and stir well to dissolve.
  • Add mayonnaise and stir to combine.
  • When the potatoes are cool enough to touch, grate them into a large bowl (leaving the skins on)
  • Add the kale, cabbage, panko crumbs and salt.
  • Using clean hands, mix to combine until the mixture will hold in to a large ball.
  • Divide the mixture in to palm size rounds
  • In a large pan or skillet, heat the peanut oil over low to medium heat.
  • In batches of three, cook the rounds pressing them down with a spatula to form a ½ inch (1.5cm) pancake.
  • Cook on low to medium heat for around 10 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
  • Place the cakes on an absorbent towel while you cook the second batch.
  • Serve with a good dollop of the miso mayonnaise, a smattering of green and white shallots and a pinch of pickled ginger. Sprinkle with the sushi seasoning mix or chia seeds and seaweed.
