BACON AND SAGE POTATO PANCAKES

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     appetizer

Time 45m

Yield about 12 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 slices bacon, diced
4 Idaho potatoes, peeled and quartered
1 red onion, quartered
3 garlic cloves
6 sage leaves, finely chopped
2 eggs
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Special Equipment: Food Processor
  • In a large cast iron skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crispy. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate. Discard bacon fat in the pan. In a food processor fitted with the grater attachment, push potato, onion and garlic through the grater. Remove mixture to a towel and squeeze out excess liquid. Place potato mixture in a large bowl and mix in sage, eggs, flour, cooked bacon and salt and pepper, to taste. Fill the skillet with 1/4-inch of vegetable oil and heat until it ripples. Once the oil is preheated, form potato cakes, measuring roughly 3 inches in diameter, and add to the pan. Continue forming patties, working in batches. Cook pancakes until crispy and nicely browned, pressing down on the pancakes periodically to flatten, about 2 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel lined plate. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a preheated 275 degree F oven while remaining pancakes cook.

Tips:

  • For crispy pancakes, make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the batter. You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into the pan. If it sizzles immediately, the oil is ready.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the pancakes. Leave enough space between each pancake so that they can cook evenly.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat. If the heat is too high, the pancakes will burn on the outside before they are cooked through.
  • Flip the pancakes only once. Flipping them too often will make them tough.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include butter, syrup, sour cream, and fruit.

Conclusion:

Bacon, spam, and potato pancakes are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are perfect for a crowd and can be made ahead of time. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your pancakes are crispy, golden brown, and delicious. So next time you are looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give bacon, spam, and potato pancakes a try. You won't be disappointed!
