Provided by Bobby Flay

Categories     appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 8 servings (about 16 small pancakes)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound kale, stemmed
Canola oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup grated Spanish onion
2 or 3 russet potatoes (1 pound), peeled, coarsely grated, and squeezed dry
1 large egg, lightly whisked
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups fresh farmer cheese
1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
2 green onions, dark and pale green parts finely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Lightly drizzle the kale with canola oil and season with salt and pepper. Lay on a baking sheet in a single layer, and bake until just crisp, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Reduce the oven to 250 degrees F.
  • Meanwhile, mix the onions, potatoes, egg and 3 tablespoons of the flour in a large bowl until combined. If the mixture feels very wet, add a little more of the flour.
  • Heat 1/2 inch canola oil in a large high-sided saute pan over medium heat until it begins to sizzle. Spoon 1 heaping tablespoon of the potatoes per pancake into the pan, spreading into a 2-inch round with a fork. Cook until the bottom is browned, about 5 minutes, and then flip and cook 5 minutes more. Transfer to paper towels to drain and season with salt. Keep the pancakes warm on a wire rack set in a shallow baking pan in the oven.
  • Combine the cheese, parsley and green onions in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper.
  • Place the pancakes on a serving platter or cutting board, top each with a dollop of the cheese, and garnish with the kale chips.

SCALLION MASHED POTATO PANCAKES



Scallion Mashed Potato Pancakes image

This recipe was created from our mound of leftover mashed potatoes from Thanksgiving! It's so easy and delicious! Even my picky son that eats only 15 things had 5 pancakes! Drizzle a bit more sesame oil over the pancakes for that extra splash of flavor. Great as a side dish to anything, and another alternative to potato latkes!

Time 45m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups leftover mashed potatoes
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons sesame oil, divided
salt and ground white pepper to taste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 large scallions, chopped
¼ cup vegetable oil, or as needed

Steps:

  • Mix mashed potatoes, flour, eggs, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, salt, and white pepper together in a medium mixing bowl. The mixture should be a little doughy, enough to form a ball in your palm.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Saute scallions in the hot oil until soft, about 5 minutes. Fold into the potato mixture until combined.
  • Heat enough vegetable oil in the frying pan to cover by 1/4 inch and add a drizzle of remaining sesame oil.
  • Form balls of potato mixture using a 1/4 cup measure and flatten into pancakes. Gently place into the hot oil in batches and cook until browned on both sides and somewhat firm, about 5 minutes. Transfer pancakes to a paper towel-lined plate to soak up excess oil. Repeat with remaining mixture, adding more vegetable oil and sesame oil before frying each batch. Transfer to a platter and serve hot.

SCALLION CAKE



Scallion Cake image

I love these cakes. I serve them with wonton soup or use them as an appetizer or a snack with tea. These can be frozen after frying and reheated in a moderate oven for 10 minutes before serving. Another great recipe from my tattered copy of "Madame Wong's Long-Life Chinese Cookbook".

Time 28m

Yield 16 wedges

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup flour
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons salt
4 scallions, chopped fine
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Put flour on a board; make a well in the center and add the water; mix into a soft, smooth dough and divide into 2 portions.
  • Roll each portion very thin.
  • Brush each with 1 tablespoon of oil; sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt.
  • Spread half the scallions evenly on each sheet.
  • Roll each portion up like a jelly roll; coil it up so it's lying flat on the board in a spiral.
  • Flatten with a rolling pin until it is 7-inches in diameter.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a small saute pan; add the cakes, one at a time, and fry 2 minutes on each side.
  • Cut each cake into 8 wedges (I use a pizza cutter) and serve.

SCALLION POTATO CAKE



SCALLION POTATO CAKE image

Categories     Potato     Brunch     Fry     Quick & Easy     Casserole/Gratin     Summer     Kosher

Number Of Ingredients 5

•One 16-ounce package frozen hash browns, thawed and squeezed dry, or 4 cups grated potato, squeezed dry
•1/4 cup thinly sliced scallion
•2 tablespoons flour
•1 egg, lightly beaten
•3 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Combine potatoes, scallions, flour, egg and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl. Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until very hot. Add potatoes; flatten into an even layer. Cook underside for 5-8 minutes, or until golden brown. Slide pancake onto a plate; invert onto another plate. Add remaining tablespoon oil to skillet. Slide pancake, browned side up, back into skillet. Cook for 5 minutes more, or until golden brown and tender. Cut potato cake into wedges and serve with sour cream and applesauce. Garnish with minced scallions.

Tips:

  • Use russet potatoes: They have a high starch content, which makes them ideal for potato cakes. They hold their shape well and become crispy when fried.
  • Shred the potatoes finely: This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
  • Squeeze out the excess moisture from the potatoes: This will help the potato cakes to be crispy.
  • Use a combination of all-purpose flour and cornstarch: This will help the potato cakes to be crispy and prevent them from becoming too soft.
  • Season the potato cakes generously: This will help them to be flavorful.
  • Fry the potato cakes in hot oil: This will help them to be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
  • Serve the potato cakes immediately: They are best when they are hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Scallion potato cakes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, side dish, or main course. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
