How about trying the North African equivalent? Here's a nice one: Maakouda Batata What youâÂÂll need: â¦1 kg or 2 lbs. potatoes (about 5 medium) â¦1 small onion, finely chopped â¦1 to 2 tablespoons butter â¦3 or 4 cloves garlic, pressed â¦1 1/2 tablespoons cumin â¦2 teaspoons salt â¦1/2 teaspoon pepper, or more to taste â¦1 teaspoon turmeric (optional) â¦1/4 cup chopped cilantro â¦2 eggs, beaten â¦olive oil, for frying What youâÂÂll need to do: 1.) Peel and blanch the potatoes (until you can insert a knife halfway into them) for about ten minutes. 2.) Ideally, submerge the potatoes in cold water and set them aside for an hour, into the fridge if you like. This isnâÂÂt necessary if you successfully cool the potatoes. 3.) Grate the potatoes into a mixing bowl. 4.) Dice the onion and mince the garlic. 5.) Melt the butter in a frying pan and on medium-low heat, sauté the onions until translucent, say, for about ten minutes. Add the garlic and stir-fry for a minute or two and then remove from heat. 6.) Dump the onion, garlic, spices, and eggs into the mixing bowl and mix vigorously until well-blended. 7.) Add enough olive oil to the bottom of the pan to cover it and replace onto heat. 8.) Scrape potato mixture into the pan and tamp with spatula; if not a spatula, then use a small animal. 9.) Let it fry for ten minutes or so, or until you think the bottom is browning. Place a large plate face-down over the pan and deftly turn the pan upside down. 10.) Place the pan back on the heat and add a little olive oil. Replace the maakouda in the pan so the other side can brown, too, for about ten more minutes. 11.) When the maakouda begins to smell as though it might be browned enough, remove it to a serving plate and serve immediately. Here is a link that might be useful: Zingy Kugel

This hasn't got cornstarch in it but has always worked for me: 1/2 cup less two tablespoons flour 2 tablespoons cocoa powder 1/2 tsp baking powder 3 eggs 1/2 cup caster sugar 1 tablespoon hot water Sift together the first three ingredients. Grease and line your Swiss roll pan with greased parchment paper. Set oven to 400F. Lay a tea towel on the kitchen counter and generously sprinkle with more caster sugar. Beat eggs with sugar with an electric whisk until very pale and creamy and thick. The colour should be very pale yellow. Sift the flour mixture over the egg mixture and fold in gently with a metal spoon. Stir in the hot water. Pour into the prepared pan and level. Bake about 12 minutes until cake springs back when gently pressed with your finger. Immediately turn the cake out onto the prepared tea towel. Trim the crisp edges off then roll up and allow to cool.
