Rainbow Potato Pancakes With Harissa And Eggs Recipes

RAINBOW POTATO PANCAKES WITH HARISSA AND EGGS

Steps:

• Preheat oil in a 10-inch skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Put shredded russet potatoes and 3 tablespoons onion on a clean kitchen towel; squeeze out as much moisture as possible, then transfer to a bowl. Put shredded purple potatoes and remaining 3 tablespoons onion in the same towel; squeeze out as much moisture as possible, then transfer to a separate bowl.
• Whisk 4 eggs, 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons potato starch, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until smooth. Transfer 1/2 of the egg mixture to another large bowl; stir in balsamic vinegar and fold in purple potato mixture. Fold russet potato mixture into remaining egg mixture.
• Drop four 3-tablespoon portions of batter at a time into the hot oil and flatten with a spatula. Fry, turning once, until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Transfer pancakes to prepared baking sheet; keep warm in oven. Repeat with remaining potato mixture.
• Fill a large saucepan with 2 to 3 inches of water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, pour in white vinegar, and keep the water at a gentle simmer. Crack an egg into a small bowl then gently slip egg into the simmering water, holding the bowl just above the surface of water. Repeat with the remaining eggs. Cook eggs until the whites are firm and the yolks have thickened but are not hard, 2 1/2 to 3 minutes.
• Remove the eggs from the water with a slotted spoon and dab on a kitchen towel to remove excess water. Top pancakes with poached eggs and microgreens. Serve with sour cream and harissa.

RAINBOW SILVER DOLLAR PANCAKES

Steps:

• For the pancakes: Sift the flour and sugar together. Add the milk, vanilla and eggs and mix until smooth. Divide the batter into smaller bowls. For each bowl, you will need about 1 teaspoon of flavor extract and 4 to 5 drops of gel food coloring. I recommend using food coloring gel which is brighter (regular food coloring will also work; you will just need to use a bit more). You can match it to the desired flavor; for instance, yellow for banana, red for raspberry, etc. Once you have flavored and colored your batter, it is time to cook the pancakes! Heat a nonstick frying pan or griddle, melt some butter and pour the batter to create pancake rounds. For silver dollar pancakes, use about 1 tablespoon per pancake (adjust for desired size). Repeat with ingredients.
• For the syrup: In a medium pot over medium heat, combine the maple syrup, rum, cinnamon and vanilla. Heat until it comes to a boil, and then remove from the heat and set aside to cool. Serve the pancakes warm with the syrup and extra butter if desired.

SPINACH PANCAKES WITH HARISSA YOGURT & POACHED EGGS

Steps:

• Cook the spinach in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat for a few minutes until wilted. Transfer to a food processor, then return the pan to the heat and melt the butter. Cool the butter for a minute, then pour into the food processor with the spinach. Crack in one egg and blitz until the spinach is finely chopped (a few green flecks are fine).
• Mix the flour, nutmeg and baking powder together, then add to the food processor and blitz to combine. Pour in 250ml milk and blitz for another 1-2 mins until a batter forms. If you prefer thinner pancakes, add another 50ml milk. Pour the batter into a jug or bowl.
• Mix the yogurt with the harissa in a small bowl to taste. Set aside. Return the pan to a medium-low heat. When the residual butter in the pan is sizzling, pour in a ladleful of batter and cook for 2 mins until the top of the pancake is nearly set. Flip and cook for another 1 min until cooked and lightly golden. Transfer to a baking tray inside a low oven to keep warm. Repeat with the rest of the batter, making four to six pancakes.
• Crack the remaining eggs into ramekins. Bring a pan of water to a simmer, add a drop of vinegar and stir to create a gentle whirlpool. Tip in one egg and cook for 3-4 mins until the white is set. Lift onto kitchen paper to drain using a slotted spoon. Repeat with the remaining egg. Top the pancakes with the harissa yogurt, poached eggs and a sprinkling of nigella seeds, if you like.

RAINBOW POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• For the russet pancakes, preheat vegetable oil in a skillet until it reaches 350 degrees F.
• Grate potatoes and onion, set aside. Place measured amounts into a clean bar towel or cloth. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
• Whisk eggs and whisk in potato starch, salt, and white pepper until smooth. Quickly fold onion and potatoes into the egg mixture.
• Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to portion out a potato pancake. Place into hot oil and flatten with a spatula.
• Fry until golden brown and flip with a slotted spatula (about 4 minutes per side). Fry for an additional time until the second side is golden brown.
• Use a slotted spatula to remove the pancake to a drain pan or rack. Sprinkle with fine salt.
• Use the same directions to make the purple potato pancakes using the ingredients listed above.

SWEET POTATO CAKES WITH POACHED EGGS

Steps:

• To make the potato cakes, squeeze the excess moisture from the sweet potato, then combine with flour, parsley, egg white, harissa and some salt in a bowl until the mixture sticks together. Shape into 8 potato cakes. Heat a little oil in a frying pan. In two batches, fry the potato cakes for 2-3 mins each side or until golden brown and crisp. Keep warm while you repeat with the remaining cakes.
• Poach the eggs in a saucepan of simmering water for 2-3 mins - the yolks should be runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain carefully on kitchen paper.
• Spread some harissa in the middle of four serving plates and top with a dollop of yogurt. Add one potato cake to each plate then sandwich another potato cake on top with more yogurt. Top each stack with the remaining yogurt and an egg. Season and drizzle with more harissa and scatter over the micro herbs.
