Best Potato Pancakes W Smoked Salmon Onions Recipes

SHREDDED POTATO PANCAKES WITH SMOKED SALMON

Steps:

• Peel half the potatoes, grate them coarse (preferably in a food processor), and press them between several thicknesses of paper towel to remove any excess moisture. In a large heavy skillet heat 1/4 cup of the oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking. In a bowl toss the grated potatoes with salt and pepper to taste, form them into 4 patties, and in the skillet cook the patties, tamping them down with a spatula, for 5 minutes on each side, or until the pancakes are golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the pancakes to paper towels to drain and keep them warm in a 200°F. oven. Make 4 more pancakes in the same manner with the remaining potatoes and oil and serve the pancakes with the smoked salmon and the sour cream.

POTATO PANCAKES WITH SMOKED SALMON

Steps:

• Prepare potato pancake mix according to box instructions. Add parsley, salt and pepper, to taste. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a shallow non-stick pan. When oil is hot, spoon 1/2 potato mixture into pan and shape into large round pancake. Brown on both sides, making sure it gets crispy and golden brown, about 5 minutes on each side. Remove from pan and place on a paper towel to dry. When slightly cooled, spread sour cream on top, sprinkle red onion and lay the smoked salmon nicely on top. Garnish with dill and slice into 8 pieces (like a pizza).

SALMON POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a saute pan, melt the butter and then add white onions and saute till translucent, then add in the green onions and celery. Saute till everything is simmered and softened.
• Beat the eggs in a small mixing bowl and set aside. In a larger mixing bowl pour in the chicken stock and add the onion powder, pepper, drained salmon and mix together using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until incorporated.
• Preheat an electric skillet with the corn oil to 350F, or medium heat.
• Back to the mix: add the cooked celery and onions to the salmon mixture and mix gently. Now add in salted diced/shredded potatoes. The very last ingredients added should be the flour/matzo meal and the eggs. At this point, the mixture should form clumps, which can be shaped into pancakes.
• Drop each pancake into the hot oil and fry for 15 min or until lightly golden. Drain on paper towels.

CRISPY POTATO PANCAKE WITH SMOKED SALMON AND DILL-CAPER VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a small mixing bowl, combine the mustard, vinegar and shallots. Whisk in the canola and olive oils to emulsify the dressing, and then fold in the capers and dill. Season with pepper only, as the capers are salty.
• On the large-hole side of a box grater, grate the onion into a strainer set over a bowl. Then, peel the potatoes. It is important to work quickly to avoid potato oxidation. You do not want to store the potatoes in water, as the starch will be washed away. Using the large-hole side of the box grater, grate the potatoes into the strainer. Press out the liquid and discard. Toss the potatoes with the onions and season with salt and pepper.
• In an 8-inch nonstick saute pan set over medium-high heat, melt the Clarified Butter. It will seem like a lot of butter. Pack the potatoes into the pan, so that the layer is 1/2-inch thick. Saute the potatoes until the bottom just starts to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Carefully and gently flip the potato pancake onto a small plate browned-side up. Then slide the potato pancake back into the pan and brown on the other side over medium-high heat. Place in the oven and cook until evenly golden, another 10 to 15 minutes. Drain the potato pancake on a paper towel and cut into quarters.
• Roll the smoked salmon into rosettes. Top the potato pancake slices with the smoked salmon rosettes, a few dollops of creme fraiche and the dill fronds. Drizzle with the vinaigrette before serving.
• Heat the butter in a heavy-duty saucepan over very low heat until it's melted. Simmer gently until the foam rises to the top of the melted butter. The butter may splatter a bit, so be careful.
• Once the butter stops spluttering and no more foam seems to be rising to the surface, remove from the heat and skim off the foam with a spoon.
• Line a mesh strainer with a few layers of cheesecloth or gauze and set the strainer over a heatproof container.
• Carefully pour the warm butter through the cheesecloth-lined strainer into the container, discarding any solids from the bottom of the pan.
