Smashed 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.

SMASHED POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425*.
• Mix Simply Potatoes with olive oil, garlic, herbs and salt and pepper to taste. Roast in the oven for 20-30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. You want the potatoes to be fork tender and carmelizing.
• Cool slightly and then smash potatoes somewhat with a fork, masher, or other utensil. There should be good sized chunks left. Stir in remaining ingredients (except butter and additional flour or breadcrumbs), adding enough flour so that you can form cakes. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or more.
• Shape into patties using about 1/4 cup of the potato mixture. Coat each patty lightly with flour or breadcrumbs depending on the texture you want (bread crumbs will give a very distinct crisp). If using breadcrumbs, you might consider dredging first in flour, then an eggwash (1 egg to 2 T milk), then crumbs.
• Melt enough butter in a nonstick skillet to lightly coat the bottom of the pan, fry each cake until golden and heated through. Enjoy as is, or top with sour cream and extra green onion, cheese and bacon.

MY CRISPY MASHED POTATO PANCAKE

Steps:

POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• In large skillet, melt the butter, then add the onion and cook over moderate heat for 3 minutes, stirring.
• Remove from heat.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk three of the eggs till well blended, then add the cooked onions, potatoes, flour, salt, pepper, Tabasco and stir until mixture is firm.
• Form the mixture into 16 round pancakes and place on a large greased baking sheet.
• In a small bowl, whisk the remaining egg with the water, brush the top of each pancake with the egg wash, and bake the pancakes till golden brown, 20-25 minutes.

POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• If you've got potatoes not mash, cook them in boiling water until tender. Drain well and press through a potato ricer or mash. Weigh out 250g and cool.
• Sieve the flour and baking powder onto cooled mash. Whisk eggs and milk together and add to the potato mix with the chives. Whisk the batter until smooth.
• Heat a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add ½ tsp sunflower oil and a dot of butter. When the fat is hot, start to cook the pancakes. Add 1 tbsp of batter for each pancake and cook 4 at a time. Cook for about 1 min until the underside is golden brown and small bubbles appear.
• Flip the pancakes and cook until golden. Remove from the pan and keep warm while you cook the remaining pancakes in the same way, adding a tiny bit of oil and butter to the pan as and when needed. Serve the pancakes in stacks with creamy scrambled egg and crisp rashers of streaky bacon.

MASHED-POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together mashed potatoes, egg, and Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper and mix well to combine (mixture will look wet). In a large nonstick skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high.
• In batches, drop heaping spoonfuls of potato mixture into skillet, pressing with a spatula to flatten slightly. Cook until golden brown on bottom, about 3 minutes. Gently flip and cook until golden brown on other side, 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining potato mixture and more oil.

GARLIC MASHED POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 2 teaspoons of salt.
• Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. When the water is boiling, add the potatoes and cook until tender, about 10 to 12 minutes.
• While the potatoes are cooking, heat the butter in a medium skillet. When melted, add the garlic. Cook over low heat just until the garlic starts to turn light golden brown. Take care not to burn the butter. Take the pan off the heat and set aside to cool.
• When the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, drain them and return them to the pot. The residual heat will help the excess water evaporate. Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or a ricer. Gradually add the milk until the potatoes are the desired consistency. Stir in the butter and garlic mixture, add the remaining 1 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste.
• Form the mixture into pancake patties. Place in skillet with 1 teaspoons oil or butter and cook on each side for about 1 to 2 minutes over medium-high heat, until a bit crisped on both sides.
• Serve and enjoy!
