Best 3 Potato Pancakes With Avocado Salsa Recipes

POTATO-CHORIZO TACOS WITH AVOCADO SALSA

Steps:

• In a medium (3- to 4-quart) saucepan, bring 1 quart of water to a boil. Dice the potatoes into ½-inch cubes, and heavily salt the water (you''ll need about 2 teaspoons). Simmer over medium heat until the potatoes are fully tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.
• (Note: Chef Bayless uses a quarter of a large onion, but this recipe calls for half of a small onion.) Finely dice onion and place in a large skillet over medium-high heat, and immediately add the chorizo. Cook, breaking up any lumps of chorizo, until the onion is soft and the sausage cooked through, about 10 minutes. If the chorizo has rendered more than a light coating of fat over the bottom of the skillet, pour out the extra.
• As the chorizo cooks, make the avocado salsa: Roughly chop the husked, rinsed tomatillos; chop the garlic clove; chop the chiles. In a food processor, combine the tomatillos, garlic, and chiles, and pulse until finely chopped (scraping down the sides of the processor as necessary). Add the peeled and pitted avocado, season with ½ teaspoon salt, and pulse until everything is well blended; the sauce should be the consistency of a light mayonnaise. Salt to taste, then scrape the sauce into a serving bowl and set aside.
• Use a slotted spoon or strainer to drain the potatoes thoroughly; add them to the skillet with the chorizo mixture and continue to cook over medium heat, stirring regularly until the potatoes begin to brown, 7-8 minutes. As the mixture cooks, coarsely mash everything together with the back of a spoon or a spatula, scraping up any crusty bits of potato, so that it roughly holds together (it will look a little like hash). Cover and keep warm over the lowest heat.
• Serve the potato-chorizo mixture with the avocado sauce and warm tortillas. (To reconstitute or reheat store-bought tortillas, wrap the stack in a damp paper towel and heat in the microwave on full power for 1 minute.)

CORN PANCAKES WITH SALSA

Steps:

• Dice tomatoes and avocado a place in a large bowl. Stir in the lime juice.
• Pour boiling water over broad beans and leave for 3-4 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. Remove skins and add to tomato and avocado, along with the corriander.
• Place crushed garlic, vinegar and oil in a jar and shake. Add to salsa and mix well.
• To make the pancakes, sift the flour into a large mixing bowl and stir in the polenta. Add milk and corn and mix until combined. Season well.
• Heat oil in a frying pan. Spoon mixture into pan to desired size. Cook for 2-4 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.
• Serve hot with the salsa.
• Variations- use basil in place of corriander or cucumber in place of avocado.

AVOCADO POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Meanwhile, toss avocado with 2 tablespoons of lime juice and set aside.
• Drain the potatoes and place in a bowl of cold water to cool, about 10 minutes. Drain well and transfer to a large bowl.
• Whisk remaining lime juice, garlic, yogurt, honey mustard, olive oil, sugar, salt, and pepper together in a nonreactive bowl for dressing. Taste and adjust seasoning to your liking.
• Pour the dressing over potatoes and toss gently. Gently fold in avocados, onion, and cilantro.
