Gouda Potato Pancakes Recipes

POLISH POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper then place in a 200° oven. You'll transfer the Potato Pancakes to this baking sheet to keep them warm.
• Lightly beat the eggs in a medium to large bowl then set aside.
• Peel the potatoes and onions then cut into cubes. Add potatoes and onions to a food processor (or blender) and grate. NOTE: if you're using a box grater, peel the potatoes and onions but leave whole to grate.
• After the potatoes and onions are grated drain any excess moisture then add the potato mixture to the eggs. Season with salt and pepper then stir to combine.
• Gradually stir 3-4 tablespoons of flour into the batter to bind it (you want the batter on the thin side).
• Heat 2-3 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet (enough to cover the bottom of the skillet) over medium to medium-high heat until the oil starts to shimmer (NOT smoke). The amount of oil you use will depend upon the size of your skillet.
• Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup scoop the batter into the hot skillet forming the pancakes. Gently spread the batter using the back of the same measuring cup until the thickness of the pancake is about 1/2″.
• Fry 3 minutes or until the bottoms are golden then turn, pressing down on them lightly with a spatula and cook another 3 minutes or until golden.
• Transfer the pancakes to the baking sheet, (optional) lightly blot with paper towels then place in the oven to keep warm while you start the next batch.
• Repeat with the remaining batter until the pancakes are all cooked then serve right away.

SMOKED GOUDA CRISPY POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• Coarsely shred the potato and onion on a box grater. Transfer shreds to a piece of cheese cloth and squeeze as dry as possible. Let sit for 2 minutes and then squeeze dry again.
• Whisk together the flour, salt and pepper. Toss the potatoes, onions, and cheese in the flour to coat and then the lightly beaten egg and stir until evenly coated.
• In a large skillet, heat up a generous amount of oil over medium heat until hot and shimmery. Drop the potato mixture by the tablespoon and flatten. Cook over medium to medium-high heat until edges are crisp and golden, about 1 1/2 - 2 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden, about 1-2 minutes. Drain on a wire rack or paper towels. Continue pancaking until potato mixture is done. Top pancakes with sour cream, green onions, and more shredded gouda, if desired.

PARMESAN POTATO PANCAKE

Steps:

• Warm the 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large (12-inch diameter) nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until tender and fragrant, about another 2 minutes. Season the onion mixture with salt and pepper. Transfer the onion mixture to a large bowl and set aside. Reserve the pan.
• Meanwhile, grate the potatoes in a food processor using the grating attachment blade. Use a kitchen towel to help squeeze out the water from the grated potatoes. Add the potatoes to the bowl with the onion mixture. Add the Parmesan and the basil. Stir to combine and season with additional salt and pepper, to taste.
• Warm the remaining olive oil over high heat in the same pan that was used to cook the onions. When the pan is hot, but not smoking add the potato mixture. Use a spatula to press the mixture down into the pan firmly and evenly. Turn the heat down to medium and cook the potato mixture until the bottom is golden brown and the pancake can move in the pan, about 12 to 15 minutes. Turn the heat down to medium-low if the pancake is browning too fast in places. Place a large plate on top of the pancake and flip the pancake out of the pan. Turn the heat on the pan back up to high. When the pan is hot slide the pancake back into the pan and cook until the bottom is golden and is cooked through, about 12 to 15 minutes. Slide the pancake onto a serving platter, slice, and serve.
