POTATO HOT CAKES WITH CHEDDAR CREAM AND SALSA VERDE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees.
• Arrange potatoes, cut side down, on a large parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 35 minutes or until crisp and golden-brown on the outside and soft inside; cooking time will vary depending on the size of your potatoes, but you want the flesh to be soft enough to mash.
• Make the Cheddar cream: In a small bowl, combine Cheddar and sour cream. Add freshly ground black pepper to taste.
• Make the salsa: In a bowl, mix the herbs, capers and garlic with about 1/3 cup/60 milliliters of oil and a generous pinch of salt.
• Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle (about 15 minutes), peel away and discard (or eat) the skins, being careful not to lose too much flesh. Use a potato masher to mash the flesh until smooth or chunky, as you like. Transfer about 1 1/4 cups/230 grams of the mashed potatoes to a mixing bowl. (Save any extra mash for another use.)
• Add lemon zest, beaten eggs, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper and mix until eggs are completely incorporated. Your batter will look like glossy, runny mashed potato.
• Fry the hot cakes: Add 2 tablespoons of oil to a large nonstick frying pan and place over medium-high heat. Spoon about 1/4 cup of batter per hot cake into the pan and fry for 4 to 5 minutes, turning over once, until crisp and golden on both sides. Set aside on a paper towel-lined plate and keep warm. If you have more batter, add a final tablespoon of oil to the pan and fry the remainder in the same way. You may want to turn the heat down for the second batch if the oil is getting too hot.
• When ready to serve, fry the eggs in the same pan, using additional oil if necessary.
• Stir lemon juice into salsa. Divide the hot cakes between plates and top with the eggs, the Cheddar cream and then salsa verde; the salsa should cover a bit of the cream but not all of it. Sprinkle with the mustard seeds (if using) and serve.

STRAWBERRY HOT CAKES

Steps:

• 1. Strawberries: Sprinkle sugar over strawberries and mix lightly. Pour orange juice over mixture and let it sit at room temperature about 30 minutes. Take out about 1/2 the mixture and puree it. Add pureed mixture back with the strawberries and refrigerate until ready to use.
• 2. Pancakes: Mix dry ingredients together in medium sized bowl. In a separate bowl whisk together egg yolks, ricotta cheese, milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth and creamy. Make a well in bowl with dry ingredients; pour liquids into well and stir gently just until dry ingredients are combined. In another bowl, beat the egg whites with a dash of salt until soft peaks form. Right before cooking, very gently fold and blend whites into the rest of the batter, being careful not to over-blend (batter will get thinner.)
• 3. Preheat electric grill to 375 F or stove-top grill to medium/medium-high heat (depending on your stove) - until drops of water dance across grill. Getting grill to the right temperature is the hardest part. If the grill is too low the pancakes will absorb the oil and be tough. If the grill is too hot, the outsides get burnt and the inside is either not done, or too dry. Once the grill is hot enough, coat it very lightly with olive oil and then a small pat of butter, spreading with a spatula to coat the entire surface. Test Grill Temperature: Start by pouring just a tablespoon of batter onto grill to make sure grill is at the right temperature. In about 1-1/4 minutes, you should see several bubbles rising to the top of the batter and popping. Flip the pancakes and cook another 1 minute until the other side is lightly browned. Remove to platter and slice in half to check doneness. Insides should be light, fluffy, and slightly moist all the way through and outsides should be lightly browned. Adjust grill temperature up or down as needed and repeat test until grill temperature yields a perfect cake. You won't want this batter to go to waste! Once the grill is set, pour about 1/4 cup batter onto grill for each cake and cook as directed above. Try different shapes and sizes if you like. I made the ones in the photos on Valentines Day so of course I had to make hearts. Cover cooked cakes with foil to keep warm until serving.
• 4. To serve, spoon chilled strawberries over pancakes and top with whipped topping.
