food idea #1

Although, my new knife doesnt slice through falling paper (i spent most of the time trying to make the paper fall straight), it is none the less a knife that is deadly sharp. It was like i was in the Goodfellas movie slicing garlic wafer thin =) Its so sharp and effortless, that once i was done with the garlic, i needed more stuff to chop, slice and mince. so i found a potato, skinned it, chopped it into wedges, sliced the wedges into chips and then minced the chips into little tiny potato bits.  mmm, what to do with minced potato and garlic..

Potato Pancakes
1 minced potato
1 minced clove of garlic
1 egg
finely sliced shallot
wasabi powder mixed in mirin
add flour to achieve pancake consistency.

Fry it up in little pikelets, add sweetened miso, bonito flakes and jap mayo on top.
