Dill Scallion Potato Pancakes Recipes

Steps:

• Mix half a 28-ounce bag frozen thick-cut hash browns with 2 beaten eggs, 1/2 grated onion, 1/3 cup chopped dill, 2 sliced scallions and 2 tablespoons flour; season with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and a few grinds of pepper. Heat 1/4 cup vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Scoop 1/3 cup mounds of the potato mixture into the skillet and gently flatten with a spatula. Cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side, adjusting the heat as necessary. Sprinkle with salt. Repeat, adding more oil as needed.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place grated onion in a fine sieve, and press out as much moisture as possible. Combine onion, potatoes, chopped dill, salt, pepper, and egg white in a medium bowl, and stir to combine.
• Coat two baking sheets with olive-oil cooking spray. Form pancakes by dropping about 1 tablespoon mixture on tray for each and flattening into disks. Bake until golden brown on bottom, about 10 minutes, rotating trays once during cooking. Remove from oven, and turn pancakes over. Return to oven, and bake until brown on both sides, about 7 minutes more.
• Serve pancakes topped with gravlax and a dab of reduced-fat sour cream. Garnish with dill sprigs.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Peel potatoes and coarsely grate in a food processor. Stir together potatoes and scallions.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil with 1/2 tablespoon butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides. Scoop 3 (1/4-cup) mounds of potato mixture into skillet, flattening with a spatula to form 3 1/2- to 4-inch pancakes. Reduce heat to moderate and cook, pressing down occasionally on cakes with a metal spatula (to compact cakes and prevent them from breaking when turning), until golden brown and crisp on undersides, 6 to 8 minutes. Turn cakes over carefully and cook, pressing occasionally, until golden brown and crisp, about 8 minutes more. Drain on paper towels, then arrange on a large baking sheet. Make more pancakes in same manner with remaining oil and butter, wiping skillet clean with paper towels between batches.
• Reheat cakes in oven 3 to 5 minutes, or until crisp. Make sandwiches with pancakes, salmon, onion, capers, and crème fraîche.

Steps:

• Mix flour and salt in a bowl. Pour in boiling water slowly, while mixing with a fork, until all the water is absorbed. Pour in cold water and mix with your hands until the flour has been incorporated. Turn out mixture onto a clean surface and knead until smooth, about 5 minutes. Cover dough with a piece of plastic wrap and let it rest for 20 minutes.
• Divide dough into 4 equal pieces. Lightly grease your work surface. Working with 1 piece at a time, roll out dough into a thin rectangle. Brush with melted chicken fat and sprinkle with 1/4 cup scallions. Starting on the long edge, roll dough into a rope. Roll the rope into a coil and tuck the end underneath. Press down with your hand to flatten slightly, and set aside. Repeat with the remaining dough and scallions.
• Lightly grease your work surface to prevent sticking. Roll each dough coil into a circle, about 7 inches in diameter.
• Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and add enough vegetable oil to cover the surface of the pan. Add 1 pancake to the hot oil and fry for 1 minute. Flip and fry for 1 more minute on the other side. Continue to cook, flipping regularly, until each side is evenly browned, pressing down with a spatula if necessary to ensure even browning. Remove to a cutting board to cool. Repeat with the remaining pancakes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Mix mashed potatoes, flour, eggs, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, salt, and white pepper together in a medium mixing bowl. The mixture should be a little doughy, enough to form a ball in your palm.
• Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Saute scallions in the hot oil until soft, about 5 minutes. Fold into the potato mixture until combined.
• Heat enough vegetable oil in the frying pan to cover by 1/4 inch and add a drizzle of remaining sesame oil.
• Form balls of potato mixture using a 1/4 cup measure and flatten into pancakes. Gently place into the hot oil in batches and cook until browned on both sides and somewhat firm, about 5 minutes. Transfer pancakes to a paper towel-lined plate to soak up excess oil. Repeat with remaining mixture, adding more vegetable oil and sesame oil before frying each batch. Transfer to a platter and serve hot.

Steps:

• Heat oil in non-stick skillet. Have other ingredients prepped before shredding potatoes as they will discolor. Shred potatoes and immediately combine with scallions and egg. Season mixture with salt and pepper. Scoop a heaping tablespoon of potato mixture into skillet and flatten with back of spoon. Continue cooking four pancakes at a time. When pancakes are brown flip to other side and continue to brown. Remove to paper towels to drain and season with salt.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir the creme fraiche with the dill and lemon juice.
• Season with salt and black pepper and sprinkle with the chives.
• Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• In a food processor or on a box grater, coarsely shred the potatoes and the onion.
• Transfer to a large, clean kitchen towel and squeeze dry.
• In a medium bowl, mix the shredded potatoes and onion with the egg, flour, baking powder, 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
• In a large nonstick skillet or on a griddle, heat the vegetable oil until shimmering.
• Drop 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture into the skillet and flatten with the back of a spoon to make a 3-inch round.
• Make about 5 more pancakes and cook over moderately high heat until golden on the bottom, about 4 minutes.
• Flip the pancakes and cook until golden, about 2 minutes longer.
• Transfer to paper towels to drain.
• Repeat with the remaining potato mixture; you should have 12 pancakes.
• Arrange the potato pancakes on a platter.
• Serve warm, with the dill cream, smoked salmon and caviar.

Steps:

• Thoroughly mix flour and starch in a bowl. Using a fork, mix in the boiling water; add the cold water and mix with your hands until all the flour is incorporated.
• Let the dough rest, covered, for 20 minutes.
• Roll the dough into a long rope. Cut the rope into 8 piecess. Cover all pieces but one.
• On a floured surface, roll the piece of dough as thin as possible without tearing. Brush with sesame oil, sprinkle with scallions and salt.
• Roll up jellyroll-style. Coil the roll like a cinnamon bun. Roll out the bun until 1/4 inch thick.
• Repeat with other pieces of dough.
• Spray a nonstick pan with cooking spray and heat on medium-high. "Fry" each pancake, about 1-2 minutes per side, until the dough puffs up a little and becomes crispy.
• Serve as soon as possible - though they're good cold, too.
