Dill Scallion Potato Pancakes Recipes

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.

EASY SCALLION PANCAKES

Steps:

• Combine milk, flour, egg, scallions, water, baking powder, salt, and ground ginger in a bowl. Mix until batter is smooth.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Pour batter into the skillet to make 4 pancakes. Cook until bubbly, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until desired brownness is reached, about 1 minute more.

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.

SCALLION MASHED POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• Mix mashed potatoes, flour, eggs, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, salt, and white pepper together in a medium mixing bowl. The mixture should be a little doughy, enough to form a ball in your palm.
• Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Saute scallions in the hot oil until soft, about 5 minutes. Fold into the potato mixture until combined.
• Heat enough vegetable oil in the frying pan to cover by 1/4 inch and add a drizzle of remaining sesame oil.
• Form balls of potato mixture using a 1/4 cup measure and flatten into pancakes. Gently place into the hot oil in batches and cook until browned on both sides and somewhat firm, about 5 minutes. Transfer pancakes to a paper towel-lined plate to soak up excess oil. Repeat with remaining mixture, adding more vegetable oil and sesame oil before frying each batch. Transfer to a platter and serve hot.

POTATO, SCALLION, DILL AND CHEESE FRITTATA

Steps:

• In a small non stick frying pan, heat the oil over a medium heat.
• Add the potatoes and fry until beginning to crisp, about 8 minutes.
• In a bowl, whisk together eggs, scallions, dill and salt and pepper.
• Heat the grill.
• Tip the eggs into a frying pan, mix quickly, lower the heat then sprinkle over the cheese.
• After about 8 mins, once the top side has almost set, pop under the grill for 2-3 mins or until firm and golden. Slide out of the pan.
• Eat straight away or cool quickly and chill.

POTATO PANCAKES WITH SCALLIONS AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with paper towels and another with aluminum foil.
• Peel the potatoes and grate with a grater or the shredding blade of a food processor. Place the potatoes in a bowl, adding the scallions, prosciutto, eggs, flour and pepper. Mix to blend, adding a little more flour if it is too liquid.
• In a deep skillet or frying pan, add enough oil to reach a depth of about 1/4 inch. Heat to about 350 degrees on a frying thermometer. Drop full tablespoons of the potato mixture into the hot oil, flattening each mound with a spatula. Fry about 1 minute on each side, or until golden brown and crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon, drain on the paper-towel-lined cookie sheet, then arrange in one layer on the aluminum-foil-lined sheet. Change the paper towels as they absorb the oil. Place the cooked pancakes in the oven to keep warm. Continue frying, adding more oil as necessary. Serve hot or at room temperature.
