Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Place baking sheet in oven. Place colander in large bowl. Line colander with kitchen towel. Using processor fitted with shredding blade, coarsely grate potatoes, onion, celery root and apple at the same time. Transfer potato mixture to towel. Gather towel tightly around potato mixture and squeeze out as much liquid as possible into bowl; discard liquid. Place potato mixture, egg, green onion, marjoram, salt and pepper in same bowl; toss to blend. Mix in flour.
- Pour enough vegetable oil into heavy large skillet to cover bottom. Heat oil over medium-high heat. Working in batches, drop 1/4 cup pancake mixture into skillet for each pancake. Using bottom of metal spatula, flatten each mound to 3-inch round. Fry until cooked through and crisp, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer pancakes to baking sheet in oven to keep warm. Repeat with remaining pancake mixture, leaving behind any liquid that collects in bottom of bowl.
- Mix crème fraîche and horseradish in small bowl. Arrange 2 pancakes on each plate. Garnish pancakes with dollop of horseradish cream and smoked salmon. Sprinkle with chives and serve.
Tips:
- Choose the Right Potatoes: Starchy potatoes, like russets or Yukon Golds, are best for potato pancakes because they hold their shape well when grated.
- Use Fresh Apples: Fresh apples add a sweet and tangy flavor to the pancakes. Choose apples that are firm and crisp, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp.
- Grate the Potatoes and Apples Finely: This will ensure that the pancakes are evenly cooked and have a tender texture.
- Squeeze Out Excess Liquid: Use a cheesecloth or kitchen towel to squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the grated potatoes and apples. This will help prevent the pancakes from becoming soggy.
- Use a Well-Seasoned Pan: A well-seasoned cast iron skillet or nonstick skillet is ideal for cooking potato pancakes. Make sure the pan is hot before adding the pancake batter.
- Cook the Pancakes Over Medium Heat: Cooking the pancakes over medium heat will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
- Flip the Pancakes Carefully: Potato pancakes are delicate, so flip them carefully with a spatula. Avoid using a fork, as this can easily break the pancakes.
- Serve the Pancakes Immediately: Potato pancakes are best served immediately after cooking. You can garnish them with sour cream, applesauce, or your favorite toppings.
Conclusion:
Potato and apple pancakes are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast, lunch, or dinner recipe. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a hearty and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy. Experiment with different seasonings and toppings to find your favorite way to enjoy potato and apple pancakes.
