Scallion Mashed Potato Pancakes Food

CHEESY LEFTOVER MASHED POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• Combine the mashed potatoes, cheese, scallions, egg and 3 tablespoons of the flour in a large bowl (see Cook's Note). With your hands, divide the mixture into 12 portions. Roll each portion into a compact ball, and then flatten it into a pancake about 1/2-inch thick.
• Put the remaining 1/2 cup flour in a shallow dish and carefully coat each pancake in the flour.
• Heat 3 to 4 tablespoons of oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. (Add enough oil to thoroughly coat the bottom of the pan.)
• Fry the pancakes, in batches, until they're golden brown and crispy on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes. Add more oil to the pan as needed between batches. (Do not overcrowd the pan and do not flip the pancakes too soon or they won't develop a crisp crust.) Transfer the pancakes to a paper towel-lined plate and immediately sprinkle them with salt.
• Serve the potato pancakes topped with sour cream and garnished with additional chopped scallions.

MASHED POTATO PANCAKES RECIPE

Steps:

• 1. Cook onion in pan in about half of the butter until onion is translucent. Remove onion from pan with a slotted spoon, allowing the melted butter and pan drippings to remain in the pan. Combine onion, mashed potatoes and egg. Sprinkle with flour. Add remaining butter to pan and heat to medium/high heat. Add potato pancakes and cook about 5 minutes each side until browned. Leftover mashed potatoes take on the consistency of concrete when refrigerated and you never know what to do with them. They are actually very good is you just warm them up and add a little more milk and/ or butter. But now you have a second option.

MASHED POTATOES WITH SCALLIONS

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes, and cut them into 1-inch cubes. There should be about 6 cups. Put the potatoes into a kettle, and add salt.
• Cover with water and bring to a boil. Cook 10 to 12 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Remove from the heat.
• Drain the potatoes, and put them through a ricer or a food mill. Add the butter, and beat to blend. Stir in the milk, cream, scallions and pepper. Serve piping hot.

MASHED POTATOES WITH SCALLIONS

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• Combine the mashed potatoes with the scallions, salt, pepper, milk and add 1 tablespoon melted butter. Mix well.
• Place the mixture in a heat-proof serving dish and smooth the top, using the prongs of a fork. Pour melted butter over the top and brown under the broiler.

SCALLION PANCAKES

Steps:

• Thinly slice the scallions on the bias, separating out the dark, tender greens from the whites and light greens. Measure out 1 packed cup of the tender greens and set aside for the pancakes. Add the remaining tender greens, along with the whites and light greens, to a small saucepan. Add the oil and place over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the oil begins to rapidly bubble, 5 to 7 minutes. Continue to fry, stirring more frequently now, until the bubbling begins to subside and the scallions turn crisp and golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. They'll burn quickly at this point, so watch carefully.
• Strain scallions through a fine-mesh sieve set over a pint-sized heat-proof glass measuring cup or jar, then cool to room temperature, reserving the fried scallions to use as a garnish on fried rice, omelets, etc. When cool, measure out 1/2 cup of the scallion oil, then save the remainder for another use. (I like to stir fry with it, but swirling it into mashed potatoes isn't a bad idea either.) The scallion oil will keep for about 1 month refrigerated in an airtight container.
• For the dough, mix the flour and salt together in a large bowl. Pour in the boiling water all at once and stir with a spatula or chopsticks until just cool enough to handle, then knead by hand, in the bowl, until the dough comes together. Transfer to a clean counter and keep kneading until the dough is soft and smooth, 3 to 5 minutes. Lube the bowl with nonstick spray, add the dough, toss to lightly coat, cover with plastic wrap, and let rest for 1 hour at room temperature.
• Divide the dough into four 100- to 110-gram pieces (about 3 3/4-ounce) and roll into smooth balls and cover with a kitchen towel. Working one at a time, roll each ball into an 8- to 9-inch circle measuring less than 1/8-inch thick. Brush with 1 teaspoon of the cooled scallion oil and then sprinkle with 1/4 cup (about 15 grams) of the scallion greens. Roll into a tight snake, being sure to avoid creating any air bubbles inside. Wrap the snake into a tight pinwheel with the seam facing inward. Tuck the end under and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining balls. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest again for 30 minutes at room temperature or overnight in the refrigerator. (If chilling, bring to room temperature before proceeding with the next step.)
• Brush your work surface with 1/2 teaspoon of the scallion oil. One at a time, roll the spirals into 7- to 8-inch pancakes. Return to the baking sheet and top with a piece of parchment. Repeat with the remaining dough spirals, greasing the counter with additional oil as needed and placing a piece of parchment between each pancake.
• Heat a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium-low heatIf you're measuring, the pan should be between 380 and 400°F. for 5 minutes. Line a baking sheet with an upside-down wire rack and stash near the cooktop.
• Add 2 tablespoons of the scallion oil to the hot skillet, followed by one of the pancakes. Fry, flipping every 30 to 45 seconds, until golden brown on both sides, 3 to 5 minutes total. Transfer to the prepared rack. Repeat with the remaining pancakes, adding an additional tablespoon of oil to the pan in between each batch. Slice into wedges and serve hot.

SALMON-SCALLION MASHED POTATO CAKES #SP5

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper. Beat eggs in shallow bowl. Add 1 cup panko breadcrumbs to another shallow bowl. Set aside.
• To assemble each cake, scoop ½ cup mashed potatoes, 2 tablespoons scallions, and 8-10 salmon chunks; assemble into 1-inch-thick patties by hand, each about 4-inches wide. Place each one on a platter until all 8 are assembled.
• Carefully dip each one in egg; fully-coat both sides, then dip both sides in panko breadcrumbs - adding additional panko to bowl as needed. Place on prepared sheet pan. Bake on middle oven rack for 35-40 minutes, flipping each cake halfway through. Serve hot.

SCALLION MASHED POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• Mix mashed potatoes, flour, eggs, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, salt, and white pepper together in a medium mixing bowl. The mixture should be a little doughy, enough to form a ball in your palm.
• Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Saute scallions in the hot oil until soft, about 5 minutes. Fold into the potato mixture until combined.
• Heat enough vegetable oil in the frying pan to cover by 1/4 inch and add a drizzle of remaining sesame oil.
• Form balls of potato mixture using a 1/4 cup measure and flatten into pancakes. Gently place into the hot oil in batches and cook until browned on both sides and somewhat firm, about 5 minutes. Transfer pancakes to a paper towel-lined plate to soak up excess oil. Repeat with remaining mixture, adding more vegetable oil and sesame oil before frying each batch. Transfer to a platter and serve hot.

BROWN BUTTER AND SCALLION MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Cover potatoes with cold water by 2 inches in a 5- to 6-quart heavy pot and add 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until potatoes are tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Drain potatoes in a colander, then return to pot and cook over moderate heat, shaking pot occasionally, until dry, 1 to 2 minutes. Mash hot potatoes with masher or force through food mill into another pot, then cover to keep warm.
• Bring milk with remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt just to a boil in a 1-quart saucepan, then remove from heat and stir into potatoes until combined. Stir in sour cream, then cover and keep warm.
• Cook butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat, stirring frequently and scraping up brown bits, until foam subsides and butter is golden brown, about 8 minutes. Add scallions and pepper and cook, stirring, until slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Fold butter mixture into mashed potatoes and season with salt.

MASHED POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• Set up your cooking station: Place a few paper towels on a large plate. You will transfer the pancakes to the paper towel lined plate as you fry them.

SCALLION POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• Heat oil in non-stick skillet. Have other ingredients prepped before shredding potatoes as they will discolor. Shred potatoes and immediately combine with scallions and egg. Season mixture with salt and pepper. Scoop a heaping tablespoon of potato mixture into skillet and flatten with back of spoon. Continue cooking four pancakes at a time. When pancakes are brown flip to other side and continue to brown. Remove to paper towels to drain and season with salt.
