Every week we try to make a new meal or item. This week's was Potato Pancakes:
4 large baking potatoes (2 pounds)
2 extra-large eggs, lightly beaten
6 tablespoons flour or matzo meal
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus extra for garnish
6 tablespoons clarified butter (see note)
4 extra-large eggs
"Peel the potatoes and grate them lengthwise. Place them in a colander or kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Combine the potatoes in a bowl with the egg, flour, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Melt 2 tablespoons of clarified butter in a skillet. Drop a heaping tablespoon of the potato mixture into the sizzling butter. Flatten with a spatula and cook for 2 minutes. Turn, flatten again, and cook for another 2 minutes, until crisp on the outside and golden brown. Move to a plate lined with a paper towel while you finish cooking the pancakes. In the same pan, use the remaining butter to fry the eggs, cooking two at a time, until the yolk is a runny or jammy, as desired. Serve 3 – 4 potato pancakes on a plate with a fried egg on top. Sprinkle with salt and pepper serve hot."
Review:
These really just left us craving hash browns or breakfast potatoes. Next time we will do some things differently and try out a new recipe.
Form into loose balls by hand and flatten slightly so they will get thinner, and crunchier in the pan
Make sure oil is hot enough before starting first ones
Use a recipe that calls for more oil so they turn out more fried and crunchy
Possibly try with a mashed potatoes recipe instead of grated
More sunny, less fried egg for T next time
Add cheese?
