Preparing this ahead will save you tons of time in the kitchen, you may make them up to 3 days in advance, use only russet potatoes for this reds will not work the same, you may also add in 1/2 cup half and half cream or milk if desired, also the cheddar cheese is only optional if I am serving it to guests at my holiday table I most always omit and sprinkle a light dusting of paprika on top, or you may add it into the potato mixture if desired, and if you are serving a large crowd you may want to double and bake and serve in two pans ---------- don't wait to make this for the holidays, these are that good I think you will find yourself making them all the time!

KITTENCAL'S FLUFFY MASHED POTATOES



Kittencal's Fluffy Mashed Potatoes image

Boiling the potatoes in broth instead of water creates a wonderful flavor but you may of coarse use only water or half of each --- use only russets or Yukon gold potatoes for this and once the potatoes are peeled do not slice them leave whole when cooking this will prevent the potatoes from absorbing too mush water, making for a better texture when mashing --- for extra flavor I most always add in 1 teaspoon onion powder and you may also add in some roasted garlic is desired or some garlic powder--- all amounts may be increased or adjusted to taste.

KITTENCAL'S CRISPY POTATO AND GREEN ONION PANCAKES (LATKES)



Kittencal's Crispy Potato and Green Onion Pancakes (Latkes) image

This recipe goes back 30 years or more, my family *loves* these! you can make these ahead of time and then freeze, just cool and place on a large baking sheet to freeze, when frozen stack in a freezer container or pop them into a freezer bag, to reheat and re-crisp, defrost the pancakes then place in a 400 degree oven for about 8 minutes turn over then continue baking until crisp, I strongly suggest to double the recipe these will be half gone before they even make it to the table! I like to add in some cayenne pepper and a bit of garlic powder but that is optional --- yield is only estimated you should get between 20-23 pancakes for this recipe, to make things easier use your processor to grate the potatoes, plan ahead the grated potatoes need to soak for a minimum of 8-24 hours or even up to 2 days to remove some of the starch, the longer soaking time the crispier they will be --- serve with sour cream :)

Time 32m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lbs red potatoes, peeled
1 large egg, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons flour (or use matzo meal)
2 -4 teaspoons seasoning salt (or to taste, or use white salt to taste)
2 teaspoons black pepper (or to taste)
4 -6 green onions, finely chopped (use as much as you like I use lots!)
3 -4 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped (good to add in!) (optional)
oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • Grate the potatoes using a the coarse side if the grater or use a food processor.
  • Place into a large bowl and cover with cold water.
  • Allow the grated potatoes to soak for at least a minimum of 8 hours or even up to 2 days.
  • Using your hands firmly squeeze handfuls of the grated potatoes to remove as much liquid as possible, then place in a large mixing bowl.
  • Add in egg, flour, seasoned salt and pepper; mix well with a wooden spoon, then add in the green onions and parsley (if using).
  • Heat oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat.
  • Place a heaping tablespoonful of the potato mixture into the hot skillet and using a fork, flatten slightly (the edges will be uneven!).
  • Sprinkle with more salt if desired.
  • Place only a few pancakes in the pan, careful not to over crowd.
  • Cook until golden and crisp on both sides adding in more oil if needed).
  • Repeat with remaining potato mixture.
  • DELICIOUS!

Tips:

  • To achieve crispy potatoes, use a large skillet with a heavy bottom and a lid. This will help distribute heat evenly and prevent the potatoes from sticking.
  • Cut the potatoes into uniform-sized pieces so that they cook evenly. Smaller pieces will cook faster than larger ones, so adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • Soak the potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help remove excess starch and prevent the potatoes from sticking together.
  • Use a combination of butter and oil for frying. Butter will add flavor, while oil will help prevent the potatoes from burning.
  • Season the potatoes generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika, to taste.
  • Cook the potatoes over medium-high heat until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately, garnished with fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives.
