POLISH POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• Sauté onions, cabbage and garlic until soft.
• Peel and fine-grate potatoes, or dice and use a blender. The potatoes need to be a real purée. It's ok to add water to blend, as later you MUST put the potatoes into a fine mesh strainer and let the water seep out.
• After 2 or 3 strainings to remove excess water (takes 30 minutes or so), put potato "mud" into a bowl and add egg, salt, pepper, and flour and mix well.
• Add sautéed onion-cabbage mixture to potatoes, mixing well.
• Heat thin layer of oil in electric frypan at 300° F, drop large spoonfuls of mixture into pan and smooth out to a thin pancake about 3-4" in diameter.
• Cook about 5-7 minutes a side until nicely browned and crisp.
• Place on a paper towel lined plate, keeping warm as you do other batches.
• Serve with sour cream.

POLISH POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper then place in a 200° oven. You'll transfer the Potato Pancakes to this baking sheet to keep them warm.
• Lightly beat the eggs in a medium to large bowl then set aside.
• Peel the potatoes and onions then cut into cubes. Add potatoes and onions to a food processor (or blender) and grate. NOTE: if you're using a box grater, peel the potatoes and onions but leave whole to grate.
• After the potatoes and onions are grated drain any excess moisture then add the potato mixture to the eggs. Season with salt and pepper then stir to combine.
• Gradually stir 3-4 tablespoons of flour into the batter to bind it (you want the batter on the thin side).
• Heat 2-3 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet (enough to cover the bottom of the skillet) over medium to medium-high heat until the oil starts to shimmer (NOT smoke). The amount of oil you use will depend upon the size of your skillet.
• Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup scoop the batter into the hot skillet forming the pancakes. Gently spread the batter using the back of the same measuring cup until the thickness of the pancake is about 1/2″.
• Fry 3 minutes or until the bottoms are golden then turn, pressing down on them lightly with a spatula and cook another 3 minutes or until golden.
• Transfer the pancakes to the baking sheet, (optional) lightly blot with paper towels then place in the oven to keep warm while you start the next batch.
• Repeat with the remaining batter until the pancakes are all cooked then serve right away.

• Finely grate potatoes with onion into a large bowl. Drain off any excess liquid.

• Heat 1/4 inch oil in the bottom of a heavy skillet over medium high heat. Drop two or three 1/4 cup mounds into hot oil, and flatten to make 1/2 inch thick pancakes. Fry, turning once, until golden brown. Transfer to paper towel lined plates to drain, and keep warm in low oven until serving time. Repeat until all potato mixture is used.
