Gourmet Potato Patties Recipes

Steps:

• Beat cream cheese, flour, parsley and paprika in medium bowl with mixer until blended. Add cheddar; mix well. Blend in milk and egg. Stir in onions.
• Break potatoes into shreds. Stir into cream cheese mixture.
• Brush butter onto bottom of medium skillet; heat on medium heat. Add potato mixture in batches, using 1/4 cup potato mixture for each patty and flattening if necessary to make thin 3-inch patty. Cook until crisp and golden brown on both sides, turning once. Drain patties on paper towels before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200°F. Place 2 nonstick baking sheets in oven.
• Using box grater or food processor fitted with grating disc, coarsely grate onion and place in colander set in sink. Coarsely grate potatoes, add to colander, and set aside to drain.
• In large mixing bowl, lightly beat eggs, then whisk in flour.
• Press potatoes and onion to extract as much liquid as possible, then add to egg/flour mixture. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Using wooden spoon or hands, mix well, but do not overwork.
• In heavy-bottomed, 12-inch skillet over moderately high heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon butter until hot but not smoking. Drop 4 scant 1/4-cup portions of potato mixture into pan and flatten with spatula to form four 3-inch pancakes.
• Fry until bottoms are golden-brown, 4 to 5 minutes, then turn over and fry until golden-brown and crisp, an additional 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain; season immediately with salt and pepper. Keep warm on baking sheets in oven while making remaining pancakes.
• Using paper towels, carefully wipe out pan. Add 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon butter and fry 4 more pancakes. Repeat with remaining batter, wiping out pan and adding 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon butter before each batch.
• Serve pancakes hot with applesauce and/or sour cream.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the first 11 ingredients. In a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, heat 3/4 teaspoon oil over medium heat. Drop potato mixture by 1/4 cupfuls into skillet; press lightly to flatten. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Repeat with remaining oil and potato mixture.

Steps:

• Cook potatoes in skins and cool.
• When cooled, peel and grate or shred, like hash browns.
• Preheat oven to 350. Butter sides and bottom of a large casserole dish or spray with cooking spray.
• Melt 1/2 cup butter in saucepan and add grated cheese. Remove from heat when melted and add the sour cream, chopped onion, salt and pepper. Stir completely.
• Add mixture to the grated potatoes and mix well.
• Place in buttered casserole and dot with the 3 tablespoons of butter and sprinkle with paprika.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes until bubbly and golden-brown on top.
