POTATONIK OR POTATO NIK EITHER WAY, IT'S DIVINE!



Potatonik or Potato Nik Either Way, It's Divine! image

My parents are from Brooklyn NY (coming from an Aussie this might sound strange) but my parents migrated to Melbourne in the early 1960's. From the age of 7 onwards every summer vacation we would visit the family in Brooklyn NY. The things I looked forward to most on our visits was of course the original Nathan's and on Brighton Beach Avenue there was Mrs. Stahl for Potatonik. Halfway between a kugel and a lava hot greasy potato brick which was so wonderful on cold winter days. I assure you, this concoction is heaven! The original recipe was posted in the NY Times food section.

Categories     Low Cholesterol

Time 3h

Yield 6-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
1/4 cup warm water
1/4 teaspoon sugar
6 large potatoes, peeled (idaho's or russets work best)
1 large onion
2 eggs
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (make sure it is fresh)
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper (or more to taste, fresh-ground is best)
2 1/2 cups flour (all-purpose)
additional oil (make sure it is fresh)

Steps:

  • Dissolve yeast, water and sugar in a small bowl. Let rest 10 minutes (until foamy).
  • Grate potatoes and onion by hand or in a food processor.
  • In a large bowl, blend eggs, 2 tablespoons of oil, salt and pepper. Stir in the grated potato and onion mixture. Add flour and dissolved yeast, mix well (mixture will be thick). Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let rise in a draft-free area for about 1 hour.
  • Pour oil into a 9" x 12" pan about 1/4" deep. Pour in the batter (the oil will come up and over the batter - This is good). Let the batter rest for about 20 minutes. Then preheat your oven to 375°F.
  • Bake potatonik on middle rack for 45 minutes. Brush or dip a paper towel into some more oil and brush/pat the top of the potatonik with the oil and bake another 10 to 15 minutes, until golden brown and crusty. Serve hot.
  • Note: potatonik can be refrigerated for several days or frozen for 1-2 weeks. Reheat at 325° until warm, or develops a hard crust.

POTATO NIK



Potato Nik image

After living in what must have seemed like every neighborhood in three boroughs, my mother's parents, in their old-ish age, settled in Astoria, which is where I spent almost all the Thanksgivings of my childhood. Thanksgiving was always (in my memory) gray and blustery, and my grandmother's kitchen, steamy. She produced, almost solo, the traditionally ridiculous abundance of food, including my favorite, the potato "nik," a huge latke fried in chicken fat until really brown, and as crisp as perfectly done shoestring fries. I still make this, and so can you.

Categories     easy, main course, side dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

About 2 pounds baking potatoes, like Idaho or russet, peeled
1 medium onion, peeled
2 eggs
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons plain bread crumbs or matzo meal
Neutral oil, like corn or grape seed.

Steps:

  • Grate potatoes and onion by hand or with grating disk of a food processor; drain in colander or strainer. Combine potatoes and onions in a large bowl with eggs, salt, pepper and bread crumbs or matzo meal.
  • Put about 1/8 inch oil in a large, deep skillet, either nonstick or seasoned cast iron; turn heat to medium-high. When oil is hot (it will shimmer) put all the batter in pan, and smooth the top. Cook, shaking pan occasionally; adjust heat so mixture sizzles but does not burn. Continue until bottom is nicely browned, at least 15 minutes.
  • To turn, slide cake out onto a large plate, cover with another large plate and invert. Add a little more oil to pan if necessary, and slide pancake back in, cooked side up. Cook 15 minutes or so longer, until nicely browned. Serve hot or warm.

POTATONIK



Potatonik image

This is an old family favorite, usually made around Chanukah time, although if we begged my mother hard enough she would make this during the rest of the year as well. I like to top my serving with sour cream.

Provided by Mirj2338

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 1h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 large potatoes (washed and peeled)
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup matzo meal
4 eggs (separated)
2 tablespoons oil

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees F and heat 1 Tbs oil in a pan (9" square or equivalent) in the oven while you are preparing the batter.
  • Grate potatoes.
  • Mix the salt, 1 Tbs oil and matzo meal and add to the potatoes.
  • Add the beaten egg yolks and mix well.
  • Then add the egg whites which have been well beaten (but not to"peak stage".) Mix everything well.
  • Remove the pan from the oven VERY carefully (the oil will be HOT) and pour the batter in gently.
  • Bake about 45 minutes, until a tester (toothpick) indicates it is set.
  • Cut in wedges.
  • It is equally delicious served warm or, equally wonderful, served cold if any is left over.
  • Calorie conscious tip: I rinse the grated potatoes through a colander with tap water to get rid of excess starch.
  • Be sure to drain well.

MATTHEW GOODMAN'S POTATONIK - THE COMMON INGREDIENT
A potatonik (or “potato nik,” in a common variation) is essentially a giant potato latke. (In Switzerland, this type of large potato pancake is known as rosti.)

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT POTATO - POTATO VARIETY CHART
Storing Potatoes. Keep potatoes in a dark, well ventilated, cool (7-10°C/40°-50°F) area. Too warm and your potatoes will sprout, shrivel and loose nutrients. Too cold and you’ll get darkening and a slightly sweet off-flavor as the starch turns to sugar. Also, keep onions and potatoes separate or they’ll both deteriorate more quickly.
