CHINESE SCALLION PANCAKES
Unlike true pancakes, "Cong You Bing" (or Chinese scallion pancakes) are made from a dough instead of a batter. The tasty appetizers are the perfect "sponge" for mopping up extra sauce and can be made ahead of time for convenience. Just wrap a green onion pancake in foil and reheat in the oven. -Jenni Sharp, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

SCALLION MASHED POTATO PANCAKES
This recipe was created from our mound of leftover mashed potatoes from Thanksgiving! It's so easy and delicious! Even my picky son that eats only 15 things had 5 pancakes! Drizzle a bit more sesame oil over the pancakes for that extra splash of flavor. Great as a side dish to anything, and another alternative to potato latkes!

Steps:
- Grate potatoes in long shreds, using smooth strokes to run across the large holes of a grater into a large bowl of cold water. Set a sieve or colander over a second bowl and drain potatoes, reserving liquid.
- Set liquid aside until starch sinks to bottom of bowl, about 10 minutes. Carefully pour liquid from bowl and discard, reserving milky residue (potato starch). Transfer potatoes to bowl with potato starch.
- Add onion to the bowl, then stir in eggs, beer, flour, and 1 teaspoon salt; season with pepper.
- Preheat oven to 200°F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels; set aside. In a heavy skillet, heat 1/2 inch oil. Spoon 1/4 cup potato mixture per pancake into skillet. (Make a few at a time, being careful that they don't run into one another.)
- Fry pancakes, flipping once, until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes total. Transfer to prepared baking sheet to drain and keep warm in oven while frying the rest. Serve warm with apple- sauce, sour cream, and caviar, if desired.
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are best for potato pancakes because they have a high starch content, which helps to bind the pancakes together.
- Grate the potatoes finely: This will help the pancakes to cook evenly.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the pancakes tough.
- Use a hot pan: This will help the pancakes to get crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook the pancakes in batches so that they have enough room to cook evenly.
- Serve immediately: Potato pancakes are best served hot out of the pan.
Conclusion:
Potato pancakes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect potato pancakes every time.
