Best 7 Norms Potato Cakes Recipes

CRISPY POTATO CAKE

Steps:

• Heat the oil and butter over medium heat in a nonstick 10-inch skillet. Once the butter is melted, sprinkle the grated potatoes into the pan in an even layer and, using a spatula, gently press them into the pan. Season with about half of the salt and pepper and let the potatoes cook without shaking or stirring the pan, until they're crisp and browned on the bottom, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Slide the potato cake onto a large plate and invert it onto another plate. Slide the potato cake back into the pan, browned side up, and season the top with the remaining salt and pepper. Continue to cook until the underside is nicely browned and the potato cake is cooked through, 7 to 9 minutes longer.
• Slide the potato cake onto a cutting board. Cut into wedges, sprinkle with parsley, and serve.

IRISH POTATO CAKES

Steps:

• Combine 2 cups leftover mashed potatoes, a heaping 1/3 cup flour, 2 tablespoons milk and 1 tablespoon chopped mixed herbs in a bowl; knead until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Divide into 4 balls on a floured surface and flatten each into a 3-inch patty. Melt 1 1/2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add the patties and cook until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes per side, adding more butter to the pan as needed. Season with salt.

POTATO CAKE

Steps:

• In a medium size mixing bowl combine mashed potatoes, egg, flour, salt (if needed) and garlic salt. Mix well.
• Melt butter in a large frying pan over a low heat. Drop pancake-size (4 inch circles) lumps of mashed potatoes into the frying pan. Pat to flatten to 1/2 to 1 inch thickness. Sprinkle some cheddar cheese onto the mashed potato cake. Spoon more potato mixture over the cheese. Flip the potato cake over when the bottom is browned (about 10 minutes). Brown the other side (about 10 minutes).

OVEN-BAKED POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• Place potatoes in small stockpot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium high; gently boil until tender, 40 to 45 minutes. Drain in a colander. Using a towel to hold potatoes, peel while still hot. Pass potatoes through a potato ricer or a food mill into a large bowl.
• Heat oven to 450 degrees. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in skillet over medium-low heat. Add garlic, onions, red peppers, and celery; saute until vegetables are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add stock; saute 1 minute more. Add vegetable mixture to potatoes along with milk, thyme, salt, and black and cayenne peppers. Form 1/3 cup mixture into 3-inch round cake; transfer to platter. Repeat, making cakes with remaining mixture.
• In a shallow dish, whisk egg whites until foamy. Place bread crumbs in a shallow dish. Coat cakes in egg whites, then in bread crumbs; transfer to a baking sheet.
• Pour 1 tablespoon canola oil in a medium nonstick skillet; place over medium-high heat. Add half the cakes; cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Return to baking sheet; set aside. Repeat process with remaining tablespoon canola oil and cakes, wiping skillet with paper towel between batches.

NORM'S POTATO CAKES

Steps:

• Peel and grate the potatoes and the onion into a small mixing bowl.
• (I use the grating blade of my food processor but grating by hand works just as well.) Stir in the egg and the flour.
• If the batter looks to runny add a little more flour- if it is too dry, add a splash of milk.
• Season well with pepper and salt and any other optional ingredients.
• Melt oil and butter together in a medium frypan and heat until sizzling.
• You can now add the batter in one of two ways: Dad's Method- Add spoonfuls of batter to the pan to form circles about 8-10cm (4 inches) in diameter.
• Cook for about 5 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
• Cook in batches of 2 or 3 and keep warm on a plate in an oven set on a low temperature.
• My Method- Tip all of the batter into the frypan and flatten it out with the back of a spoon so that it fills the whole pan evenly.
• Cook on one side for about 5 minutes then invert a dinner plate over the top of the pan and tip the potato cake onto the plate.
• Now, simply slide the cake back into the pan and cook on the other side for about 5 minutes.
• When both sides are cooked, invert the potato cake onto the plate again and cut it into wedges.
• Serve topped with mayonnaise, sour cream or ranch dressing and chopped chives or chopped green onions.

• Heat a skillet over medium high heat.
• Melt a little butter in the pan, just enough to coat the pan.
