Parmesan Crusted Smoked Cheddar Potato Cakes Recipes

Steps:

• Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and place on the center rack of the oven. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (see Cook's Note).
• For the Parmesan potatoes: Toss the potatoes, thyme sprigs, olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of black pepper in a large bowl until combined. Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Lay the potatoes cut-side-down in an even layer. Bake until tender and golden brown, about 35 minutes.
• For the smoked paprika aioli: Meanwhile, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon, paprika, garlic, a pinch of salt and a couple grinds of black pepper in a small bowl until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Remove the baking sheet from the oven and push the potatoes to one side of the pan (try to give yourself as much empty surface area as possible). Lightly spray the foil with more cooking spray, then sprinkle the Parmesan in an even layer over the empty space on the baking sheet, making sure to go all the way to the edges to create a roughly 14-by-12-inch rectangle. Place the potatoes on top of the Parmesan layer, cut-side down, so that all the potatoes are sitting on the cheese.
• Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake until all the Parmesan is golden brown and crisp, 8 to 10 minutes more. Cool slightly, about 5 minutes, then use a spatula to lift the crispy, cheesy potatoes off the pan (some potatoes will come off individually while others will come off in pairs). Serve with the smoked paprika aioli on the side.

Steps:

• 1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
• Stir together the mashed potatoes and smoked cheddar then scoop about ¼ Cup mashed potatoes and form into equal size small patties.
• Combine parmesan cheese and flour into a shallow dish and press potato patties into mixture.
• In batches, place patties into hot skillet and cook for 2-4 minutes per side or until golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate.
• Serve warm with ranch dressing if desired.

Steps:

• In a bowl combine the first 9 ingredients.
• In another bowl mix the milk with egg and melted butter whisk until well combined; add to the dry mixture; mix well.
• Let mixture stand for about 10-12 minutes until the liquid is absorbed.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
• Using slightly wet hands tightly shape into small balls (about 2 tablespoons) place into hot oil then press down lightly with back of a spoon).
• Cook about 3 minutes on each side or until browned adding in more oil as needed.
• Remove to paper towels.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together.
• Place spoonfuls of potato mixture in greased fry pan.
• Cook on medium/medium high heat for approximately 5 minutes or until bottom of cakes are golden brown.
• Flip, mash down with spatula and cook for another 5 minutes or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes.
• Meanwhile, slice the leeks thinly and make sure you wash off any dirt from in between the layers.
• Melt the butter in a shallow pan and cook the leeks over a low heat, stirring occasionally, until they are very soft, about 20 minutes.
• Bring the milk to a boil in a small saucepan and then take off the heat.
• When the potatoes are tender, drain and mash, pouring in the warm milk as you go.
• Stop adding milk when the consistency is thick enough to make into patties. You don't want a sloppy mash.
• Stir in the leeks, season with salt and pepper and set aside to cool.
• Shape into rough patties.
• Warm oil in a shallow pan and slide in the patties.
• Let them take on a golden colour, about 3-4 minutes per side.
• Like out and drain on kitchen paper.
