Chive Potato Cakes Food

CHIVE CAKES

Steps:

• For the filling: In a large bowl, combine fresh shrimp, salt, fish sauce, tapioca starch. Set aside. Stir-fry the chives in half of the oil and half of the lard with garlic and water chestnuts until the chives are soft. Place chives on the center of a large piece of cheesecloth, wrap up the cloth, and squeeze the mixture until there is no liquid. Set aside.
• In a small bowl soak the dried shrimp in warm water to cover for about 20 minutes. Drain, discard the liquid, and coarsely chop the shrimp. In a skillet or sauté pan over medium-high heat, warm the canola oil and remaining lard until shimmering. Add the dried shrimp and stir until the shrimp turns brown. Remove and set aside. In the same skillet add the fresh shrimp, pepper and green onions and saute until cooked through, 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and combine shrimp-both fresh and dried-and chives.
• For the dough: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the starches, bread flour, sugar, salt, and oil. Mix on high speed, slowly adding the hot water until a sticky dough forms, about 5 minutes. Turn the dough out onto your work surface and divide into 10 pieces. Using a small rolling pin, roll out the ball into circles about 1/8 inch thick and 4-5 inches in diameter. Holding the dough in your palm, add about 2-3 tablespoons of the filling in the middle of each circle and pinch the ends together. Lightly pat down to flatten the cake. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
• Set up a steamer and steam the chive cakes until the dough is translucent, about 7-10 minutes.
• Remove the dumplings from the steamer and set aside to cool. Just before serving, coat the bottom of the skillet with oil and pan fry the chive cakes until browned on both sides.
• Serve with both hot Sriracha and soy sauce for dipping.

• 2. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium & simmer for 20-30 minutes or until tender.
• 3. Drain well. Skin potatoes and coarsely grate. Slip garlic out of its skin.
• 4. Discard skin and fold garlic into potatoes along with butter, cheese, egg and chives.

SOUR CREAM AND CHIVE POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• Grate the potatoes coarsely; squeeze the excess moisture from the potatoes; combine the potato in a large bowl with the onion, garlic, chives, rosemary, sage, salt and pepper to taste, egg yolks flour and sour cream.
• Beat the egg whites in a small bowl with an electric mixer until firm peaks o the potato mixture.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil with 20g of the butter in a non-stick pan; cook heaped tablespoons of the potato mixture, uncovered, until browned on both sides; drain the pancakes on absorbent kitchen paper and cover to keep warm; repeat with the same amounts of the remaining oil, butter and potato mixture.
• Notes: One Australian measuring cup holds approximately 250ml (8 fluid ounces), one Australian tablespoon holds 20ml and one Australian teaspoon holds 5ml. North America, New Zealand and the United Kingdom use a 15ml tablespoon. In this recipe, the addition of the rosemary and sage is really best guided by taste. I never measure herbs.

GOAT CHEESE POTATO CAKES WITH CHIVES

Steps:

• In a saucepan combine the potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces, the shallots, and the garlic with enough cold water to cover the mixture by 1 inch and simmer the mixture for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Drain the potato mixture, return it to the pan, and steam it over moderate heat, shaking the pan, for 30 seconds, or until any excess liquid is evaporated. Force the potato mixture through a ricer or the medium disk of a food mill into a bowl and stir in 1/2 cup of the bread crumbs, the goat cheese, the chives or scallions, and salt and pepper to taste. Form 1/2-cup measures of the mixture into four 3/4-inch-thick cakes, transferring the potato cakes as they are formed to a plate covered with the remaining 1/2 cup bread crumbs, and coat the potato cakes with the crumbs.
• In a large heavy skillet heat the butter over moderately high heat until the foam subsides and in it sauté the potato cakes, turning them once, for 5 minutes on each side, or until they are crusty and golden brown.

CRISP POTATO CAKES SMOKED SALMON AND CHIVES

Steps:

• Once potatoes have cooled, remove skin. With a box grater, grate potatoes into a mixing bowl. Add olive oil, sour cream and one bunch of chives minced. Finish with one egg, mix very well. Season with salt and pepper. Form by hand 4 large potato cakes. In a medium saute pan, heat olive oil approximately 2 ounces at a time to a slight smoke. Fry 2 potato cakes at a time. Lower heat and allow to crisp approximately 3 minutes per side. Once both sides are crisp and all 4 cakes are made, drain on a paper towel and reserve in a warm place. Crack twelve eggs and wisk with a fork. Add 2 ounces milk. Season with salt and pepper. In the same teflon pan add 2 ounces of butter and over medium heat slowly stir in cracked eggs and begin to scramble.
• Once eggs are finished fold in a julienne of smoked salmon and a handful of minced chives. For presentation place one warm potato cake in the middle of each plate. Then carefully spoon scrambled egg mixture on top and garnish with chives

Place 4 to 6 patties in the panko, turning once to coat. Place the patties in the hot oil and cook, turning once, for about 3 minutes on each side until the risotto cakes are crisp and nicely browned. Place on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper and keep warm in the oven for up to 30 minutes. Continue cooking in batches, adding oil as necessary, until all the cakes are fried.
