Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 very large or 2 small russet potatoes (about 10 oz total)
1 tablespoon Old El Paso™ taco seasoning mix (from 1-oz package)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Water
White vinegar
4 pasteurized eggs*
4 tablespoons guacamole
Coarse sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Torn fresh cilantro leaves, if desired

Steps:

Peel and finely grate potatoes into medium bowl. Add taco seasoning mix; stir to combine.
Heat 12-inch (preferably cast-iron) skillet over medium heat. Add oil; turn skillet to coat.
Shape potato mixture into 4 patties. Squeeze out excess moisture between fingers; place in skillet. With pancake turner, press down on each pancake. Cook 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove from skillet; place 2 pancakes on each serving plate. Cover to keep warm.
To poach eggs, fill 2-quart saucepan with a few inches of water and a splash of white vinegar. Heat to just under a simmer (there should be bubbles all over bottom and inside of saucepan but no bubbles coming up to the surface). Break 1 egg into a small dish. Using spatula or wooden spoon, make a whirlpool in the water. Carefully slide egg into center of whirlpool. Cook egg 3 to 5 minutes or until egg is all white and wobbles just a bit. Remove egg with slotted spoon; place on plate. Repeat with remaining eggs.
Spoon 1 tablespoon guacamole onto each pancake. Top each with 1 poached egg. Sprinkle tops with salt, pepper and torn cilantro. Serve immediately.

Tips:

For crispy potato pancakes, use a combination of russet and Yukon Gold potatoes. Russet potatoes provide starchiness, while Yukon Gold potatoes add a creamy texture.
Grate the potatoes finely using a box grater or food processor fitted with a grating disc. This will help the pancakes cook evenly.
Squeeze the grated potatoes well to remove excess moisture. This will prevent the pancakes from becoming soggy.
Season the pancake batter generously with salt and pepper, and add your favorite herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or chili powder.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a thin layer of oil or butter to prevent the pancakes from sticking.
Cook the pancakes for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Serve the potato pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, salsa, guacamole, or cheese.

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 with a variety of toppings and fillings. Whether you like them simple or loaded with your favorite ingredients, potato pancakes are sure to please everyone at the table.
