Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup cold water
1 egg, beaten
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup dry potato flakes
1 tablespoon chopped chives
1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon butter
¼ cup sour cream for garnish
1 tablespoon chopped chives, divided

Steps:

  • Whisk together water, egg and salt in a large bowl until salt has dissolved. Stir in dry potato flakes until incorporated. Stir in 1 tablespoon of chopped chives; season with black pepper and cayenne pepper.
  • Heat oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Swirl the pan to combine.
  • Divide potato mixture into four equal portions and shape into pancakes. Place the pancakes in the pan and reduce heat to medium. Cook until a well-browned crust has formed onto the bottom of the pancakes, about 10 minutes. Flip each pancake and flatten slightly. Cook until other sides are browned, 7 to 8 more minutes.
  • Transfer to plate; top each pancake with a dollop of sour cream and sprinkle each with 3/4 teaspoon chives.

These pancakes were a little too dry for my taste. I think I'll add more milk next time.

These pancakes were a little too greasy for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try using less oil next time.
