Potato-Corn Cakes image

When making potato pancakes one night, Annette Leonard experimented with some new flavors. The result has become a favorite vegetarian main dish, which she serves with salsa and sour cream.

Provided by Annette Leonard, Eugene, Oregon,

Yield Makes about 12 cakes; 3 or 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/4 pounds russet potatoes, scrubbed
1 can (15 1/2 oz.) corn, drained
2/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese (2 oz.)
1/2 cup small-curd cottage cheese
2 large eggs, beaten to blend
1/3 cup minced green onions (including tops)
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
2 fresh jalapeño or other hot green chilies (about 2 oz. total), rinsed, stemmed, seeded, and diced
2 tablespoons yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
About 2 teaspoons salad oil

Steps:

  • In a 5- to 6-quart pan over high heat, bring about 4 quarts water to a boil. Add whole potatoes and cook until tender when pierced, 20 to 30 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water until cool enough to handle; peel and grate (or press through a food mill or ricer).
  • In a large bowl, mix potatoes, corn, cheddar cheese, cottage cheese, eggs, onions, cilantro, jalapeños, cornmeal, cumin, salt, and pepper until well blended.
  • Pour 1 teaspoon oil into a 10- to 12-inch nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat; when hot, drop batter into pan in about 1/3-cup portions, and use a spoon to spread slightly into 3- to 4-inch cakes. Cook, turning once with a spatula, until cakes are browned on both sides and firm to the touch in the center, about 6 minutes total. Transfer to an ovenproof plate and keep warm in a 200° oven while you cook remaining cakes, adding more oil to pan as necessary.

BUTTERMILK CHEDDAR CORN CAKES



Buttermilk Cheddar Corn Cakes image

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     side-dish

Time 25m

Yield 6 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus extra for cooking corn cakes
1 large egg
1 cup low-fat buttermilk
1/2 cup shredded sharp Cheddar
1/3 cup canned corn, rinsed and drained, optional
1 tablespoon dried chives
Serving suggestions: butter and maple syrup

Steps:

  • Whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt in a mixing bowl.
  • Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Set aside to cool slightly while you prepare the wet ingredients.
  • Whisk together the egg and buttermilk in a large mixing bowl. While whisking, pour in the melted butter and stir until combined. Stir in the dry ingredients just until combined. (Be sure not to overwork the batter.) Fold in the Cheddar, corn, if using, and chives.
  • Place the skillet over medium heat and add enough butter to coat the bottom. Ladle about 1/2 cup batter into the pan, spreading gently to form a thick circle. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip over and cook until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes more. Melt a small pat of butter in the skillet in between each batch (this will help the corn cakes rise). Serve immediately, with more butter and maple syrup, if desired.

MEXICAN POTATO CORN CAKES



Mexican Potato Corn Cakes image

Based on a recipe my BF asked me to make, we both liked this a lot! Altered to use real mashed potatoes. You can either use leftover mashed potatoes (2 cups), or replace the milk and potatoes with 2 cups milk and 2 cups dried potato flakes to save time. Has a mild but pleasing Mexican flavor that I think kids should like. I served this as a vegetarian main dish with a vegetable medley side of carrots, broccoli and red peppers.

Tips:

  • For the crispiest potato cakes, use a combination of russet potatoes and Yukon Gold potatoes. Russet potatoes will provide a fluffy interior, while Yukon Gold potatoes will add a slightly denser texture and more flavor.
  • Be sure to squeeze as much water out of the potatoes as possible before mashing them. This will help prevent the potato cakes from becoming too soggy.
  • Do not overmix the potato mixture. Overmixing will make the potato cakes tough.
  • Use a generous amount of oil when cooking the potato cakes. This will help prevent them from sticking to the pan and will also help them to brown evenly.
  • Be patient when cooking the potato cakes. It takes time for them to cook through. Do not try to rush the process by turning the heat up too high. This will only result in burnt potato cakes.

Conclusion:

Corn and potato cakes are a hearty and satisfying side dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make delicious corn and potato cakes that the whole family will love.
