Categories     side dish

Time 15m

Yield Six to eight servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 medium red potatoes
3/4 cup minced scallions
1/4 pound prosciutto, minced (optional)
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
6 tablespoons flour, or more if needed
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
3/4 cup safflower or canola oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with paper towels and another with aluminum foil.
  • Peel the potatoes and grate with a grater or the shredding blade of a food processor. Place the potatoes in a bowl, adding the scallions, prosciutto, eggs, flour and pepper. Mix to blend, adding a little more flour if it is too liquid.
  • In a deep skillet or frying pan, add enough oil to reach a depth of about 1/4 inch. Heat to about 350 degrees on a frying thermometer. Drop full tablespoons of the potato mixture into the hot oil, flattening each mound with a spatula. Fry about 1 minute on each side, or until golden brown and crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon, drain on the paper-towel-lined cookie sheet, then arrange in one layer on the aluminum-foil-lined sheet. Change the paper towels as they absorb the oil. Place the cooked pancakes in the oven to keep warm. Continue frying, adding more oil as necessary. Serve hot or at room temperature.

These potato pancakes are a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. They're also a fun and easy way to get kids to eat their vegetables.

I used smoked salmon instead of prosciutto and it was a great combination with the potatoes and scallions.

I'm not a fan of scallions, so I omitted them from the recipe. The pancakes were still delicious.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my potato pancakes turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked them.

These potato pancakes were a bit too thick for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had grated the potatoes instead of mashing them.

I followed the recipe exactly and the pancakes turned out too greasy for my liking. I think I would have been better off using less oil when cooking them.

These potato pancakes were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had added some more seasoning to the batter. Maybe some garlic powder or onion powder.

These potato pancakes were easy to make and turned out great! I used leftover mashed potatoes, which made them even easier. I also added a bit of grated Parmesan cheese to the batter, which gave them a nice cheesy flavor.
