SAUSAGE-STUFFED POTATO PANCAKES



Sausage-Stuffed Potato Pancakes image

They say that just because you can do something, doesn't always mean you should. One could argue that this recipe is one of those times, since we could just cook some sausage and serve it next to our potato pancakes-but I could, and did, stuff mine with sausage, and I very much enjoyed how they came out. Besides, if you're going to skip the sausage stuffing, this recipe is a reminder of just how easy potato pancakes are to make.

Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 ounces Italian sausage links, casings removed
1 ½ pounds russet potatoes, peeled
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 large egg, beaten
2 ½ tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons diced roasted red peppers
3 tablespoons sour cream, or to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives, or to taste

Steps:

  • Divide sausage into 6 equal pieces, and press between plastic wrap to flatten into discs about 2 1/2 inches round and about 1/8 inch thick. Keep in the refrigerator until needed.
  • Grate potatoes and transfer into a large bowl of cold water. Stir the grated potatoes with your hand for a few seconds, and then drain the potatoes in a strainer. Using your hands and/or a towel, squeeze out as much water as possible.
  • Transfer the potatoes to a mixing bowl. Add salt, black pepper, cayenne, flour, and egg; mix thoroughly.
  • Heat oil in large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. For each pancake, place down about 3 tablespoons of the potato mixture. Reduce heat to medium; top each pancake with a sausage patty, pressing it down lightly into the surface. Top each sausage patty with another heaping tablespoon of potato mixture and spread over the top until the sausage is covered. Flatten down with a spoon or spatula.
  • Cook the first side until very well browned, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until browned, the sausage is no longer pink, and potatoes are tender, about 5 minutes more. Serve with diced roasted red peppers, sour cream, and fresh chives.

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h50m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/4 sticks (10 tablespoons) unsalted butter, plus more for the pan
3 large russet potatoes (about 2 1/4 pounds), peeled and quartered
Kosher salt
12 ounces day-old country bread, torn into 1/2-inch pieces
8 ounces fresh pork breakfast sausage, casings removed
1 large onion, chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
Freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup half-and-half
2 large eggs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375˚ F and butter a 9-by-13-inch or other 3-quart baking dish. Put the potatoes in a large pot; cover with water and season with salt. Bring to a simmer; cook until the potatoes are tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain and keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, spread the bread on a baking sheet and bake until lightly toasted around the edges, about 5 minutes.
  • Combine 1 tablespoon butter and the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook, breaking up the meat into pieces with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 4 minutes. Add 7 tablespoons butter, the onion and celery; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 8 minutes. Stir in the thyme, sage and poultry seasoning, then add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Whisk the half-and-half with the eggs, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Add the warm potatoes and mash; season with salt. Mix in the bread and the sausage mixture. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in the microwave. Transfer the stuffing mixture to the baking dish, then drizzle with the melted butter. Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes, then uncover and continue baking until the top is crisp and golden, 20 to 25 more minutes.

SAUSAGE PANCAKES-ON-STICKS



Sausage Pancakes-on-Sticks image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 18 corn dogs

Number Of Ingredients 9

16 breakfast sausage links
3 cups pancake mix
1 cup yellow cornmeal
Sprinkle of cinnamon
1 whole egg, slightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups water
Canola oil, for frying
Warm pancake syrup, for serving

Steps:

  • Cook the breakfast sausage links in a cast-iron skillet, turning occasionally until done.
  • In a large bowl, combine the pancake mix, cornmeal and cinnamon. Stir to combine.
  • Add the eggs, vanilla and water, adding more water as needed for the batter to become slightly thick (but not overly gloopy.) Start out by adding 1 cup, then work your way up to 3 cups or more.
  • Heat some canola oil in a large pot over medium-high heat to about 350 degrees F. Drop in a bit of batter to see if it's ready; the batter should immediately start to sizzle but should not immediately brown/burn.
  • Insert chopsticks into the cooked breakfast sausages so that they're two-thirds of the way through. Dip the sausages into the batter and allow any excess to drip off for a couple of seconds. Carefully drop into the oil (stick and all) and use tongs or a spoon to make sure it doesn't hit the bottom of the pan and stick. Flip it here and there to ensure even browning, and remove it from the oil when the outside is deep golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Serve with warm pancake syrup.

Categories     Potato

Time 31m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 cups Simply Potatoes® Shredded Hash Browns
2 green onions, chopped
1/3 cup parmesan cheese, finely shredded
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, divided
2 -3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1 lb hot Italian sausage, casing removed
1 red bell pepper, seeds and veins removed, diced
3 cups packed fresh Baby Spinach
1 tablespoon butter
1 shallot, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
8 ounces goat cheese
3/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
additional fresh basil (to garnish)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix together the potatoes, green onions, parmesan cheese, eggs, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, set aside.
  • In a large non-stick skillet or griddle, heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Measure out 1/3 cup of potato mixture, drop into heated skillet, spread out into a 3 1/2" to 4" round. Continue this process using the remaining potato mixture, making a total of 8 potato pancakes. Cook until golden brown, approximately 4 minutes, flip pancakes over and continue to cook until second side is golden brown, approximately another 2 - 3 minutes. Add additional 1 - 2 tablespoons oil, if needed. Remove to plate, season with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt; keep warm. (Depending on size of skillet you may need to cook potato pancakes in 2 batches.).
  • Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add in the sausage and red bell pepper and cook until sausage is cooked through, approximately 4 - 5 minutes, being sure to break up sausage into small pieces as it cooks. Add in the spinach and continuing cooking, just until spinach begins to wilt. Transfer to a medium bowl; set aside.
  • In the same skillet, over medium heat, melt the butter. Add in the shallot and garlic and cook for 1 - 2 minutes until shallot begins to soften. Add in the goat cheese and cream and cook until goat cheese has melted, stirring constantly. Add in the reserved sausage mixture, remaining 1/8 teaspoon black pepper and the chopped basil; mix to fully combine.
  • To serve, stagger 2 potato pancakes on serving plate, top with sausage mixture, garnish with additional fresh basil.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for potato pancakes because they have a high starch content, which helps them bind together when grated.
  • Grate the potatoes finely: This will help the pancakes cook evenly and prevent them from becoming too mushy.
  • Squeeze out the excess liquid: This will help the pancakes be crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
  • Use a hot skillet: This will help the pancakes cook quickly and prevent them from sticking.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: Give the pancakes enough space to cook evenly without steaming each other.
  • Flip the pancakes carefully: Use a spatula to gently flip the pancakes so they don't break apart.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately: Potato pancakes are best served hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Sausage stuffed potato pancakes are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. By following these tips, you can make perfect potato pancakes every time.
