Best Scallion Potato Pancake And Smoked Salmon Sandwiches Recipes

SCALLION POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• Heat oil in non-stick skillet. Have other ingredients prepped before shredding potatoes as they will discolor. Shred potatoes and immediately combine with scallions and egg. Season mixture with salt and pepper. Scoop a heaping tablespoon of potato mixture into skillet and flatten with back of spoon. Continue cooking four pancakes at a time. When pancakes are brown flip to other side and continue to brown. Remove to paper towels to drain and season with salt.

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:

• Preheat oven to 250 degree F.
• In a small bowl mix together sour cream, dill and salt until well blended and put in refrigerator.
• Heat butter in large skillet over medium low heat. Add onions to pan, stirring occasionally until onions are softened, then sprinkle with brown sugar, and continue cooking, stirring until onions are tender and golden brown. If onions are cooking too fast, reduce heat to low. Remove to a bowl to cool.
• While onions are cooking, grate potatoes. Squeeze potatoes in paper towels to release as much liquid as possible.
• Place potatoes in medium bowl and stir in egg, fennel seed, flour, salt, pepper and baking powder until well blended.
• Heat enough oil to cover bottom of large non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Scoop approximately 1/3 cup portions of potato mixture into hot oil, flattening with the back of a spatula into 4" pancakes.
• Fry in oil until bottoms are golden brown, then flip over and fry until that side is done, keeping in mind that the first side will usually take longer to brown than the second.
• Remove to a plate lined with paper towels and keep warm in oven, and repeat procedure until batter is gone, adding more oil as needed.
• Place pancakes on plate, and divide sour cream mixture, then onions, then salmon evenly among pancakes.
• Serve hot.

SALMON SCALLION POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine hash browns, pancake mix, egg, soup mix, scallions, and rose water. Heat oil on a griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat. Drop hash brown mixture, in tablespoon-sized portions onto hot pan, and cook until golden brown, turning halfway through. Remove from pan to drain and then serve by placing a dollop of sour cream on top of each pancake. To create an extremely special garnish, roll each salmon strip, starting with large end, and place on its side to create a rose-shaped bundle. Place 1 "rose" salmon strip on each potato pancake amid the sour cream. Sprinkle with scallions.

DILL-SCALLION POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• Mix half a 28-ounce bag frozen thick-cut hash browns with 2 beaten eggs, 1/2 grated onion, 1/3 cup chopped dill, 2 sliced scallions and 2 tablespoons flour; season with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and a few grinds of pepper. Heat 1/4 cup vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Scoop 1/3 cup mounds of the potato mixture into the skillet and gently flatten with a spatula. Cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side, adjusting the heat as necessary. Sprinkle with salt. Repeat, adding more oil as needed.

SCALLION POTATO PANCAKE AND SMOKED-SALMON SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Peel potatoes and coarsely grate in a food processor. Stir together potatoes and scallions.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil with 1/2 tablespoon butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides. Scoop 3 (1/4-cup) mounds of potato mixture into skillet, flattening with a spatula to form 3 1/2- to 4-inch pancakes. Reduce heat to moderate and cook, pressing down occasionally on cakes with a metal spatula (to compact cakes and prevent them from breaking when turning), until golden brown and crisp on undersides, 6 to 8 minutes. Turn cakes over carefully and cook, pressing occasionally, until golden brown and crisp, about 8 minutes more. Drain on paper towels, then arrange on a large baking sheet. Make more pancakes in same manner with remaining oil and butter, wiping skillet clean with paper towels between batches.
• Reheat cakes in oven 3 to 5 minutes, or until crisp. Make sandwiches with pancakes, salmon, onion, capers, and crème fraîche.
