Categories     side-dish

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons olive oil, plus 1 tablespoon
1 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled
1 cup grated Parmesan
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil leaves

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.

CHEF JOHN'S CLASSIC POTATO PANCAKES



Chef John's Classic Potato Pancakes image

The one and only way to not get perfectly crispy potato pancakes is to not squeeze them properly. More than half the procedure was dedicated to grating, soaking, draining, and squeezing the potatoes. If you don't thoroughly squeeze all the liquid from the potatoes, the pancakes just won't crisp up as well. Top with thinly sliced smoked salmon, sour cream, and fresh dill.

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 ¼ pounds russet potatoes, peeled and grated
½ yellow onion, grated
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 cup vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • Place potatoes and onion into a large bowl and pour enough cold water in the bowl to cover by several inches. Let rest until potatoes and onion are completely soaked, 20 to 30 minutes. Pour potato mixture into a colander, rinse, drain, and squeeze repeatedly to remove all moisture.
  • Whisk eggs, flour, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl until smooth.
  • Mix potato mixture and egg mixture together in a large bowl with a spatula.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes. For the best potato pancakes, use a starchy potato, such as a Russet or Yukon Gold. These potatoes will hold together better when grated and fried.
  • Grate the potatoes finely. This will help the pancakes to cook evenly.
  • Squeeze out the excess moisture from the grated potatoes. This will prevent the pancakes from being soggy.
  • Season the potato mixture well. Use salt, pepper, and any other desired spices.
  • Heat your pan over medium heat. If the pan is too hot, the pancakes will burn before they are cooked through.
  • Cook the pancakes in batches. Do not overcrowd the pan, or the pancakes will not cook evenly.
  • Flip the pancakes carefully. Use a spatula to gently flip the pancakes to avoid breaking them.
  • Serve the potato pancakes hot. They are best when served immediately with your favorite toppings.

Conclusion:

Potato pancakes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With the right ingredients and a little bit of practice, you can make perfect potato pancakes at home.
