Yield Makes about 24 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 medium onion, peeled
4 large russet or Idaho potatoes (about 3 1/2 pounds), peeled
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
Applesauce and/or sour cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200°F. Place 2 nonstick baking sheets in oven.
  • Using box grater or food processor fitted with grating disc, coarsely grate onion and place in colander set in sink. Coarsely grate potatoes, add to colander, and set aside to drain.
  • In large mixing bowl, lightly beat eggs, then whisk in flour.
  • Press potatoes and onion to extract as much liquid as possible, then add to egg/flour mixture. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Using wooden spoon or hands, mix well, but do not overwork.
  • In heavy-bottomed, 12-inch skillet over moderately high heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon butter until hot but not smoking. Drop 4 scant 1/4-cup portions of potato mixture into pan and flatten with spatula to form four 3-inch pancakes.
  • Fry until bottoms are golden-brown, 4 to 5 minutes, then turn over and fry until golden-brown and crisp, an additional 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain; season immediately with salt and pepper. Keep warm on baking sheets in oven while making remaining pancakes.
  • Using paper towels, carefully wipe out pan. Add 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon butter and fry 4 more pancakes. Repeat with remaining batter, wiping out pan and adding 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon butter before each batch.
  • Serve pancakes hot with applesauce and/or sour cream.

Crispy Carrot and Potato Pancakes (Vegetarian) image

This easy-to-fix & appealing recipe is from the main-course vegetarian section of the *Best Ever Slimmers Recipes* cookbook of the Australian Womens Weekly cookbook series. IMO it also works as breakfast or brunch fare served w/fruit or as an excellent side-dish to combine the veggie & potato parts of a meal. I made them as a side-dish to leg of lamb & the yield was exactly as stated. We tasted them plain, buttered & w/a dollop of sour cream - all excellent!

POTATO CARROT PARSNIP PANCAKES



Potato Carrot Parsnip Pancakes image

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Holiday Planning & Ideas     Passover     Passover Recipes

Yield Makes 20

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 medium russet potatoes, peeled
1 medium parsnip, peeled
1 medium carrot, peeled
1/2 cup chives, cut crosswise into 1 1/2-inch lengths
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon coarse salt, plus more for sprinkling
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 cup canola oil
Sour cream, for serving (optional)
Lemon slices, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Grate potatoes in long strips, using smooth strokes to run potatoes across the grater. Transfer to a large bowl of cold water. Use a slotted spoon to remove potatoes. Drain well and transfer to a second bowl. Reserve soaking liquid. Set reserved liquid aside for 10 minutes to allow the starch to sink to the bottom of the bowl. Carefully pour liquid from the bowl, reserving the milky residue (potato starch).
  • Using the same method as for potatoes, grate parsnip and carrot. To potatoes add parsnip, carrots, reserved potato starch, chives, egg, salt, and pepper, and mix well.
  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Line a baking sheet with paper towels; set aside. In a heavy nonstick skillet, heat 1/2 inch of oil. Working in batches to accommodate pan size, spoon 1/4 cup of potato mixture into skillet for each pancake. Drop into oil loosely; you should be able to see oil bubbling up in between the individual strands. Fry until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to prepared baking sheet to drain. Sprinkle with salt. Keep warm in oven. Serve hot, with sour cream and lemon slices.

Tips:

  • To ensure your pancakes are crispy, use a non-stick skillet and cook them over medium heat.
  • For a fluffier pancake, let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes before cooking.
  • To make sure the pancakes are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the pancakes are done.
  • Serve the pancakes with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or yogurt.

Conclusion:

Potato carrot pancakes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized with a variety of toppings. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give these potato carrot pancakes a try!
