Wash and peel the potatoes, slice them as thinly as possible into 3 to 4 mm rounds, and pat dry with paper towels.
Mix the cornmeal and coarse salt in a large bowl; coat both sides of the potato slices in the mixture.
Heat the olive oil in a wide pan over medium heat, add the butter, and let it foam.
Spread the potatoes evenly across the pan, cover, and cook over medium-low heat for 8 minutes; turn and fry uncovered for 6 minutes more.
Sprinkle with red pepper flakes, leave in the pan for 1 more minute, transfer to a hot serving plate, and place Ordu taflan pickles on the side.
💡 Tip: Slice the potatoes as thinly as possible; cornmeal absorbs moisture and makes the outside crisp while the inside stays soft. Eat the pickled taflan sparingly because it is salty.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with Ordu taflan pickles, cold ayran, and thinly sliced cheese.
