CRISPY POTATO CAKE



Crispy Potato Cake image

When grated and fried into a potato cake, super cheap potatoes take on an impressive and fancy look that every budget-minded cook can appreciate. A crispy, browned potato cake (often called a roesti potato cake) makes an excellent side dish to meat loaf or any saucy dish, and I especially love it paired with fried or poached eggs and a little salsa. Eggs and potatoes for dinner costs so little to make and tastes so comforting and indulgent at the end of a busy day.

Time 30m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 large russet potatoes, peeled and grated
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Heat the oil and butter over medium heat in a nonstick 10-inch skillet. Once the butter is melted, sprinkle the grated potatoes into the pan in an even layer and, using a spatula, gently press them into the pan. Season with about half of the salt and pepper and let the potatoes cook without shaking or stirring the pan, until they're crisp and browned on the bottom, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Slide the potato cake onto a large plate and invert it onto another plate. Slide the potato cake back into the pan, browned side up, and season the top with the remaining salt and pepper. Continue to cook until the underside is nicely browned and the potato cake is cooked through, 7 to 9 minutes longer.
  • Slide the potato cake onto a cutting board. Cut into wedges, sprinkle with parsley, and serve.

We think this savory chicken tastes just as good cold as it does hot. It's perfect for a family dinner at home or to take along on a picnic. The potato-flake coating covers the poultry pieces evenly and bakes to a beautiful golden brown. -Dorothy Bateman, Carver, Massachusetts

PERFECT ROAST CHICKEN WITH POTATO CAKES



Perfect Roast Chicken with Potato Cakes image

Provided by Michael Symon : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 whole chicken, about 3 pounds (you can also do this with bone-in skin-on pieces)
1 lemon, halved, plus lemon wedges, for serving
Kosher salt and cracked black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 potatoes, peeled and shredded (I'm using sweet)
2 large eggs, beaten
1 small onion, grated (I'm using red)
1 teaspoon your favorite spice mix (I'm using Old Bay)
1 teaspoon paprika
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil, for the pan, if necessary

Steps:

  • For the chicken: Place a heavy-bottomed pan in the oven (I prefer cast iron) and preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
  • Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Rub the chicken with the lemon halves and season liberally with salt and pepper. Drizzle the chicken with the olive oil.
  • Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven, arrange the chicken in it breast-side up and place the pan on the middle rack. Roast until the thickest part of the chicken measures 160 degrees F, about 45 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes before carving.
  • For the potato cakes: While the chicken is cooking, thoroughly mix together the sweet potatoes, eggs, onion, Old Bay and paprika. Season with salt and pepper. Form the mixture into 6 patties.
  • While the chicken is resting, place the pan it was cooked in over medium-high heat with the rendered chicken fat. Working in batches and adding more oil if necessary, cook the patties, flattening them slightly with a spatula, until golden brown and crisp, 4 to 6 minutes per side.
  • Serve the sweet potato cakes with the chicken and some lemon wedges on the side.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality chicken and vegetables.
  • Be sure to season the chicken and vegetables well.
  • Don't overcook the chicken or vegetables, or they will become tough.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the potatoes and onion by hand.
  • Be sure to coat the chicken cakes in the breadcrumb mixture evenly, or they will not be crispy.
  • Serve the chicken cakes hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Crispy-coated potato chicken cakes are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. They are also a great way to use up leftover chicken. Be sure to experiment with different dipping sauces to find your favorite. With a little planning, you can have a delicious meal on the table in no time.
