Salmon Scallion Potato Pancakes Recipes

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 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.

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.

SALMON-SCALLION MASHED POTATO CAKES #SP5

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper. Beat eggs in shallow bowl. Add 1 cup panko breadcrumbs to another shallow bowl. Set aside.
• To assemble each cake, scoop ½ cup mashed potatoes, 2 tablespoons scallions, and 8-10 salmon chunks; assemble into 1-inch-thick patties by hand, each about 4-inches wide. Place each one on a platter until all 8 are assembled.
• Carefully dip each one in egg; fully-coat both sides, then dip both sides in panko breadcrumbs - adding additional panko to bowl as needed. Place on prepared sheet pan. Bake on middle oven rack for 35-40 minutes, flipping each cake halfway through. Serve hot.

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.

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.

CHINESE SCALLION PANCAKES

Steps:

• Mix flour and 1 teaspoon salt together in a large bowl; pour in boiling water and quickly mix together until water is absorbed. Work cold water, about 1 tablespoon at a time, into flour mixture just until dough forms. Knead dough for 10 minutes. Cover bowl with a damp cloth and let dough rest for 40 minutes.
• Turn dough onto a lightly floured work surface; divide into 4 equal pieces.
• Roll 1 piece of dough into a large thin round; brush the top with vegetable oil and sprinkle with about 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 the green onions. Pick up 1 end of the round and roll dough around green onions into a long scroll-shape. Take 1 scroll end and roll dough into a disk. Repeat with remaining dough, letting each disk rest for 10 minutes.
• Heat about 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Place 1 disk on a floured surface and roll into a 1/2-inch thick round; cook in the hot oil until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining disks.
