PAN-FRIED POTATO CAKE WITH ONIONS AND BACON: POTATOES LYONNAISE



Pan-Fried Potato Cake with Onions and Bacon: Potatoes Lyonnaise image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 tablespoons clarified unsalted butter
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
4 strips smoked bacon, cooked until crisp and then crumbled or diced
2 1/2 pounds red-skinned potatoes, peeled
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Meanwhile, put 1 tablespoon of clarified butter in a saute pan over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and saute until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Stir in the crumbled bacon. Set aside.
  • With the julienne blade of a mandoline or the large holes of a shredder/grater, shred the potatoes. By handfuls, squeeze any excess liquid from the shreds and transfer them to a mixing bowl. Add the remaining butter and the salt and pepper and mix well.
  • Heat a 10-inch nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil. Squeezing away any liquid that has accumulated in the bowl, arrange half of the potatoes in an even layer. Spread the sauteed onion over the potatoes, and then top with the remaining potatoes in an even layer. Saute over medium heat until the underside of the potatoes are golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • To flip the cake, slide it out of the skillet browned side down onto a large plate, then invert the skillet over the plate and flip both together to return the cake to the skillet browned side up.
  • Put the skillet in the oven and bake until the cake is cooked through, about 10 minutes more. The potatoes should feel tender when the cake is pierced with a skewer or a sharp knife tip. With a spatula, lift 1 side of the cake slightly to check if the underside is well browned. If not, put the skillet on top of the stove over medium-high heat and cook briefly to brown the underside.
  • Slide the potato cake onto a serving platter. Garnish with parsley and, with a sharp knife, cut it into 6 wedges. Serve immediately.

SPRING ONION AND CHEESE POTATO CAKE, TWO WAYS



Spring Onion and Cheese Potato Cake, Two Ways image

This potato cake is a great recipe to build on when seeking to feed a hungry crowd resourcefully, pulling whatever cheese, vegetables or spices might need using up. Here, I've included two variations, one using frozen peas and thyme, and the other using jarred peppers and harissa. You can get as thrifty as you like by making use of what you have: frozen spinach instead of the peas, for example, or some shredded mozzarella to replace the Parmesan. The recipe is yours: Make what you want of it! Serve this potato cake warm with crème fraîche, a squeeze of lemon and a side salad, if you like.

Categories     brunch, dinner, lunch, vegetables, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

6 large red bliss potatoes (about 2 3/4 pounds/1 1/4 kilograms), scrubbed clean
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons/150 milliliters olive oil
16 spring onions or 2 large bunches scallions (about 7 ounces/200 grams), trimmed and thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
6 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
Kosher salt and black pepper
2/3 cup/160 milliliters heavy cream
3 large eggs plus 1 yolk, beaten
3 ounces/85 grams Parmesan, finely grated
3 tablespoons finely chopped preserved lemon or 1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
5 ounces/140 grams mature Cheddar, roughly grated
7 ounces/200 grams feta (preferably Greek), roughly crumbled
1 cup/200 grams frozen peas, thawed
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves, plus a few extra sprigs to garnish
1 (12-ounce) jar roasted red peppers, drained, patted dry and roughly chopped (about 8 ounces/250 grams)
1/2 cup/20 grams roughly chopped fresh cilantro, plus 1 tablespoon for garnish
3 tablespoons harissa paste or 1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Add the potatoes to a large pot and top with enough water to cover by about 1 1/2 inches/4 centimeters. Bring to a boil over medium-high, then lower the heat to medium, cover with a lid and cook until easily pierced with a knife, about 30 minutes. Drain well. Once cool enough to handle, peel the potatoes (saving the skins for another use), and transfer them to a large bowl.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, add half the olive oil to a large (12-inch/30-centimeter) cast-iron skillet or an ovenproof skillet that is at least about 3 inches/8 centimeters deep. Heat over medium. Once hot, add the spring onions and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and lightly colored, about 6 minutes. If making with peas, add the peas and thyme; if making with peppers, add the peppers, cilantro and harissa. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and plenty of pepper, stir to combine and set aside.
  • Heat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit/230 degrees Celsius (non-fan).
  • Add the cream, eggs and yolk, Parmesan, preserved lemon, turmeric, half the Cheddar and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the potatoes in the large bowl. Use a potato masher to break everything down to a rough mash that is still a bit lumpy. Add the feta and the spring onion mixture and fold everything together.
  • Wipe the skillet clean, add the remaining olive oil, then transfer the skillet to the oven for about 5 minutes to heat up. Remove from the oven and carefully add the potato mix. Level the top, sprinkle with the remaining Cheddar and a few sprigs of thyme, if using, in the center and return to the oven.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 400 degrees Fahrenheit/205 degrees Celsius and bake the cake until golden and bubbling, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside for 15 to 20 minutes to firm up before serving. Sprinkle with the extra cilantro, and serve warm, spooned directly from the pan.

RöSTI (SWISS POTATO CAKE WITH ONION)



Rösti (Swiss Potato Cake With Onion) image

In Zurich, a German-speaking city, practically every bar and beer hall garnishes its big plates of meat with this kind of hash brown cake; it might be "cheese" or "onion" or "plain" Rösti, but you'll always be happy to see it. Refrigerating the whole baked potatoes overnight makes them much easier to grate. Special equipment: an adjustable blade slicer fitted with julienne blade, a food processor fitted with medium shredding disk, or a box grater. Chill time is included in total time.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Use starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold for a fluffy and light potato cake.
  • Grate the potatoes finely: This will help them cook evenly and create a smooth, cohesive texture.
  • Squeeze out excess moisture: Use a cheesecloth or paper towels to remove excess moisture from the grated potatoes. This will help prevent the potato cake from becoming too soggy.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet: A well-seasoned cast iron skillet will help create a crispy crust on the potato cake.
  • Cook the potato cake over medium-low heat: This will help prevent the potato cake from burning and allow it to cook through evenly.
  • Flip the potato cake carefully: Use a spatula to carefully flip the potato cake halfway through cooking. This will ensure that both sides are cooked evenly.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Sour cream, salsa, guacamole, or fried eggs are all great toppings for potato cakes.

Conclusion:

Potato cakes 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.
