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.

Crisp Potato Cake (Galette de Pomme de Terre) image

A well-seasoned cast-iron pan is ideal for making this easy, comforting side dish. Make sure the potatoes are sliced thin, and dry them well before assembling the dish. This will ensure full crispiness.

Provided by Harold Mcgee

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds (about 3 medium) potatoes, peeled and sliced very thinly
1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
Freshly ground nutmeg
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1 tablespoon minced garlic
Salt
Fresh thyme leaves for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Pat potatoes dry if very starchy or moist. In a sauté pan large enough to fit potato slices in just two layers, spread 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with nutmeg and pepper to taste. Starting in center, arrange potato slices in a closely overlapping, attractive spiral. When pan is filled, repeat to make a second layer.
  • Place pan over medium heat and cover. Slowly cook potatoes until well browned on underside, about 15 minutes, occasionally shaking pan gently to avoid sticking. Wipe inside of lid as needed to keep it dry.
  • Press potatoes down with a flat spatula and remove from heat. Place a larger platter over pan and flip it upside down, transferring potatoes to the platter. Check pan to make sure it is clean and has enough oil to keep potatoes from sticking.
  • Slide galette, raw side down, back into pan, and return to medium heat. Cover and cook until well browned, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare a persillade by combining parsley and garlic in a small bowl. To serve, slide galette onto a serving platter, season to taste with salt, and garnish with persillade or thyme.

Tips:

  • For crispy potato cakes, ensure the potatoes are grated finely and squeezed dry to remove excess moisture.
  • Use a combination of mashed and grated potatoes for a fluffy and crispy texture.
  • Season the potato mixture generously with salt and pepper, and add herbs or spices of your choice for extra flavor.
  • Heat the oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat to prevent the potato cakes from sticking.
  • Cook the potato cakes in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and ensure even cooking.
  • Flip the potato cakes gently to prevent them from breaking apart.
  • Serve the potato cakes hot with your favorite dipping sauce or topping.

Conclusion:

Crispy potato pepper cakes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, side dish, or main course. With their crispy exterior, fluffy interior, and flavorful pepper filling, these potato cakes are sure to be a hit at any gathering.
