Crispy Potato Patties With Roasted Red Pepper Salsa Food

CRISPY POTATO PATTIES

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Mix together the mashed potatoes, beaten egg, and onion in a medium bowl.
• Add the flour, cheese, salt, and pepper, and stir well with a wooden spoon.
• In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil and butter together until the butter melts and the mixture starts to sizzle.
• Drop about 1/4 cup of the potato mixture into the frying pan, patting it into 3-inch circles that are about 1/2 inch thick. Cook the potato patties until the bottom is browned and crisp, which will take about 3 to 4 minutes.
• Carefully turn each patty over with a spatula and cook the second side until it is brown and crisp, about 3 to 4 minutes longer.
• Remove the patties from the pan and drain briefly on paper towels.
• Serve the patties immediately with ketchup or salsa or any other sauce you'd like. Enjoy.

ROASTED PEPPER BLENDER SALSA

Steps:

• In this order, put the cilantro, roasted red pepper, garlic, jalapeno, onion, lime juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a blender. Pulse until broken down but still chunky, scraping the inside of the carafe as necessary.

CRISPY POTATOES WITH ROASTED PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large pot over high heat, add the potatoes and cover with water by 1-inch. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then add a pinch of salt, reduce the heat and simmer until slightly tender, but not easily poked by a fork, about 10 minutes. Drain the potatoes and pour put them onto a baking sheet to cool completely.
• In a large pan add the olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. When the oil begins to swirl, add the potatoes, season with salt and leave alone to allow a crust to form, about 5 minutes. Once a crust forms on the bottom give the potatoes a toss or flip them with a spatula and allow them to crisp on the other side, about 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove the potatoes to a serving bowl with a slotted spoon. Serve drizzled with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Put the bell peppers, onion, garlic, and peppercorns on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with a healthy pinch of salt. Mix with your hands to fully coat the vegetables, and arrange the bell peppers, skin side up, so that the garlic and peppercorns can hide under the cavity of the bell pepper halves. Roast until the skin of the peppers begins to blacken and pucker, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately put all of the ingredients and residue from the baking sheet into a bowl, and quickly cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let the peppers steam for about 5 minutes. Remove the pepper halves and, using your fingers, remove their skin by gently ripping and pulling it off, and return the peeled peppers to the bowl.
• Add the mixture to a blender along with the chili sauce. Pulse lightly until almost smooth, but still having a slight texture. Season, to taste, with salt and pour it into a small bowl.

CRISPY SALT AND PEPPER POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment. In a large bowl, whisk the egg whites until foamy (there shouldn't be any liquid whites in the bowl). Add the potatoes and toss until they're well coated with the egg whites, then transfer to a strainer or colander and let the excess whites drain. Season the potatoes with the salt, pepper, and herbs. Scatter the potatoes on the baking sheet (make sure they're not touching) and roast until the potatoes are very crispy and tender when poked with a knife, about 20 minutes (depending on the size of the potatoes).
• Transfer to a bowl and serve.
