Apple Potato Pancakes Recipes

Steps:

• Finely grate potatoes with onion into a large bowl. Drain off any excess liquid.
• Mix in egg, salt, and black pepper. Add enough flour to make mixture thick, about 2 to 4 tablespoons all together.
• Turn oven to low, about 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
• Heat 1/4 inch oil in the bottom of a heavy skillet over medium high heat. Drop two or three 1/4 cup mounds into hot oil, and flatten to make 1/2 inch thick pancakes. Fry, turning once, until golden brown. Transfer to paper towel lined plates to drain, and keep warm in low oven until serving time. Repeat until all potato mixture is used.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 250°.
• Beat together the egg, flour, salt and pepper.
• Peel and chop the apple.
• Peel the potatoes and grate them.
• Stir the apple and potatoes into the egg mixture.
• Heat 1 Tbsp of the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
• Pour in about 1/2 cup of batter for each pancake and flatten.
• Fry as many pancakes as you can at a time without crowding.
• Cook them until golden, 3-4 minutes a side.
• Keep the pancakes warm in the oven while cooking the remainder.
• Add the remaining oil as needed.

Steps:

• Beat 3 eggs and milk together, season with salt and pepper. In a hot saute pan melt butter and swirl around entire pan. Add eggs to pan and swirl around pan so eggs come up sides of pan. After a few minutes, when bottom of eggs start to turn light brown, flip eggs with spatula and then place pieces of smoked salmon scattered on top. Add a dollop of sour cream and spread around. Sprinkle with chives. When bottom of omelet turns brown, transfer to plate and cut into wedges. Serve with potato pancakes. Yield: 1 omelet;
• Peel potatoes. Core and peel apples. In a medium bowl, grate potatoes, apples and onion. Mix together. Add flour, egg and salt and pepper. In a saute pan heat oil. Form mixture into hamburger sized patties and add to hot oil in pan. Flip when edges appear golden brown. Cook other side for about 2 minutes or until brown and drain on paper towels.;

Steps:

• On a box grater, coarsely shred the onion and potato. Transfer to a colander or wrap in a cheesecloth sling, and squeeze as dry as possible. Let stand for 2 minutes, then squeeze dry again. Put the potatoes in a large bowl, add the flour, salt, pepper, baking powder and egg, and gently fold to combine.
• In a large cast-iron skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil until shimmering. Drop heaping tablespoons of the potatoes into the skillet and flatten them with the back of the spoon. Cook the pancakes over moderately high heat until the edges are golden, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook until golden on the bottom, about 1 minute. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining potatoes, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
• Serve the potato pancakes topped with Chunky Granny Smith Applesauce and a small dollop of Cinnamon Creme Fraiche.
• Cook's Note: Reheat the pancakes in a single layer on a cookie sheet in a 400 degree oven until they're crisp again. If you undercooked them a bit or didn't get the browning on them you'd hoped for, you can compensate for this in the oven.
• To a large pot, combine 1 cup water, sugar, cinnamon, lemon zest, and apples. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until soft, 8 to 10 minutes. Taste for sweetness and add more sugar if desired. Coarsely mash to a chunky consistency. Let cool to room temperature.;
• Whisk together creme fraiche and cinnamon, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.;

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a medium saucepan with enough cold water to cover.
• Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes until fork tender.
• Drain the potatoes and return them to the pan and cook over low heat for 2-3 minutes more, shaking the pan.
• Transfer the potatoes to a mixing bowl.
• Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat.
• Add the shallots and cook until translucent, about 4-6 minutes.
• Add the butter, egg, salt and pepper to the potatoes and stir to combine.
• When cool, shape mixture into 8 small pancakes.
• Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a skillet over high heat.
• Add the potato pancakes and cook 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
• Turn the cakes and reduce the heat to medium and cook for 2-3 minutes more.
• Drain the cakes on the paper towels and serve with applesauce.
• Homemade Applesauce: Combine all ingredients in a heavy saucepan and bring to a boil.
• Reduce the heat to simmer and cook until the apples are fork tender.
• Remove from the heat and mash all the ingredients together using a potato masher.
• Stir in the butter, if using.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream or yogurt, cinnamon and syrup. Cover and chill until ready to use.
• Coarsely grate the apples, potato and onion. Put the mixture in a clean dish towel and squeeze to wring out as much liquid as possible. For the crispiest pancakes, you want the least moisture.
• Working quickly, put the mixture in a large bowl, add the flour, eggs, salt, baking powder and pepper, and mix until the flour is absorbed.
• In a heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat, pour in about 1/4 inch of oil. Once the oil is hot (a drop of batter placed in the pan should sizzle), drop heaping tablespoons of batter into the pan, cooking 3 to 4 latkes at a time. Use a spatula to flatten the scoops into disks. When the edges of the latkes are brown and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes, flip them. Cook until the second side is deeply browned, another 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the latkes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve with dollops of the cinnamon sour cream on top.
