CHIVE POTATO CAKES

Delicious Chive Potato Cakes

Categories     Vegetable Appetizers

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb yukon gold potatoes, unpeeled
1 head garlic, separated into cloves, unpeeled
2 Tbsp butter
3/4 c grated parmesan cheese
1 egg
3/4 c chopped chives
2 Tbsp vegetable oil for frying
salt & pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Add potatoes & garlic to cold water.
  • 2. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium & simmer for 20-30 minutes or until tender.
  • 3. Drain well. Skin potatoes and coarsely grate. Slip garlic out of its skin.
  • 4. Discard skin and fold garlic into potatoes along with butter, cheese, egg and chives.
  • 5. Form mixture into 4 cakes about 1 inch thick. Heat oil in non-stick skillet.
  • 6. Fry cakes about 3 minutes a side or until crust forms and are heated through.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh chives. If you don't have fresh chives, you can use dried chives, but be sure to use only 1/4 of the amount called for in the recipe.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Be sure to drain the potatoes well after boiling them. This will help to prevent the potato cakes from becoming soggy.
  • If you don't have a potato ricer, you can use a fork to mash the potatoes.
  • Be careful not to overmix the potato mixture. Overmixing will make the potato cakes tough.
  • If the potato mixture is too wet, add more bread crumbs. If the potato mixture is too dry, add more buttermilk.
  • Be sure to heat the oil in the skillet over medium heat before adding the potato cakes. This will help to prevent the potato cakes from sticking to the skillet.
  • Fry the potato cakes in batches so that they don't overcrowd the skillet. This will help them to cook evenly.
  • Serve the potato cakes hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
