POTATO PANCAKES WITH AVOCADO SALSA



Potato pancakes with avocado salsa image

I like to serve these up after an afternoon in the garden while waiting for the Barbeque to get nice and hot. Add the lemon juice to your liking. I originally acquired this recipe for an Our House program. Serving quantity will change depending on if you want bite size pancakes or a few large ones.

PERFECT POTATO PANCAKES



Perfect Potato Pancakes image

I like to serve these potato pancakes with barbecued sausage. They're also nice with baked ham and applesauce or with breakfast sausages. And, with these and other types of meals, they're a good alternative to french fries. My children are married, and I'm a widow. So I don't do as much cooking as I once did. Guests always ask for the recipe when I serve this dish, though. And when my son and his family visited me from Winnipeg not long ago, one of the first things he asked for were Perfect Potato Pancakes!

AVOCADO POTATO SALAD



Avocado Potato Salad image

I got this potato salad recipe from a friend who got it from an adapted recipe from the California Avocado Commission. It's a wonderful recipe, that is lighter because the wonderful tangy dressing substitutes for mayo in most salads such as this. Lots of wonderful flavors, textures, and colors! You may serve this at room temperature, but it is best covered tightly and chilled for 1 to 3 hrs before serving. Can be prepared up to three hours in advance before serving.

POTATO-CHORIZO TACOS WITH SIMPLE AVOCADO SALSA



Potato-Chorizo Tacos With Simple Avocado Salsa image

These delicious tacos make a nice, simple supper. I'm lucky that my mom makes her own chorizo, and she always gives me some. She makes this potato-chorizo filling all the time, but this particular recipe is by Rick Bayless (my mom is the type who never bothers with measurements). It's also great on tostadas, in burritos and quesadillas.

Categories     Pork

Time 40m

Yield 12 tacos, serving 4 as a light meal, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 medium red potatoes (about 2 cups) or 3 small yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 2 cups)
salt
12 ounces mexican chorizo sausage, casing removed if there is one (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 small white onion, finely chopped
4 ounces tomatillos, husked, rinsed and roughly chopped (2 to 3 medium)
1 garlic clove, peeled
fresh hot green chili pepper, stemmed (roughly 2 serranos or 1 jalapeno or to taste)
1 large ripe avocado
12 warm fresh corn tortillas (store-bought or homemade)

Steps:

  • For the filling: In a medium (3 to 4-quart) saucepan, bring about 1 quart of water to a boil. Add the cubed potatoes and heavily salt the water (about 2 teaspoons), Simmer until the potatoes are fully tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.
  • In a large (12-inch) heavy well-seasoned or nonstick skillet or griddle set over medium heat, combine the chorizo and onion; stir regularly, breaking up any clumps of sausage, until the onion is soft and the sausage cooked through, about 10 minutes. If the sausage has rendered more than a light coating of fat over the bottom of the skillet, pour out the excess.
  • Add the potatoes to the skillet and continue to cook over medium heat, stirring regularly, until the potatoes begin to brown, about 8 minutes. As the mixture cooks, mash everything together a little with the back of a spoon or spatula, scraping up any crusty bits of potato, so that it roughly holds together (it'll look a little like hash). Cover and keep warm over the lowest heat.
  • For the salsa: As the filling finishes cooking, make the salsa: In a food processor, combine the tomatillos, garlic and chiles. Pulse the machine until everything is finely chopped. Peel and pit the avocado, add the flesh to the processor and pulse until everything is well blended (the salsa will be the consistency of a light mayonnaise). Scrape the salsa into a serving bowl, taste and season with salt, usually about 1/2 teaspoon.
  • Serving: Scrape the warm chorizo filling into a serving bowl and set on the table along with the avocado salsa and a basket of steaming tortillas.
  • Note: If you are using store-bought tortillas, drizzle a clean kitchen towel with 3 tablespoons water and wrap your cold tortillas in it. Slide the package into a microwaveable plastic bag and fold the top over, but don't seal it. Microwave at 50% power for 4 minutes to create steam in the package. Let stand for 2 or 3 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use starchy potatoes like Russets or Yukon Golds. These potatoes will hold their shape better when grated and fried.
  • Make sure to squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the grated potatoes before frying. This will help the pancakes to be crispy.
  • If the pancake batter is too thick, add a little milk or water until it reaches a pourable consistency.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the pancakes. Give them enough space to spread out and cook evenly.
  • Serve the potato pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as avocado salsa, sour cream, or applesauce.

Conclusion:

Potato pancakes are a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect potato pancakes every time.
