• 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.

• Serve pancakes hot with applesauce and/or sour cream.

Steps:

• If you've got potatoes not mash, cook them in boiling water until tender. Drain well and press through a potato ricer or mash. Weigh out 250g and cool.
• Sieve the flour and baking powder onto cooled mash. Whisk eggs and milk together and add to the potato mix with the chives. Whisk the batter until smooth.
• Heat a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add ½ tsp sunflower oil and a dot of butter. When the fat is hot, start to cook the pancakes. Add 1 tbsp of batter for each pancake and cook 4 at a time. Cook for about 1 min until the underside is golden brown and small bubbles appear.
• Flip the pancakes and cook until golden. Remove from the pan and keep warm while you cook the remaining pancakes in the same way, adding a tiny bit of oil and butter to the pan as and when needed. Serve the pancakes in stacks with creamy scrambled egg and crisp rashers of streaky bacon.

Steps:

• Cook the bacon, stirring, in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 8 to 0 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel lined plate to drain. Reserve the pan; don't clean it out.
• In a large bowl, mix the hash browns, seasoning salt and black pepper. Return the skillet to medium heat. Carefully add four 1/2 cup scoops to the skillet. Press the potato mounds down with a spatula and let cook until golden and crisp, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel lined plate to drain. Sprinkle with sea salt and the shredded Cheddar.
• Transfer the potato pancakes to a platter or small cutting board. Add a dollop of the sour cream to the center of each. Top with the green onions and reserved bacon.

Steps:

• Grate potatoes in long shreds, using smooth strokes to run across the large holes of a grater into a large bowl of cold water. Set a sieve or colander over a second bowl and drain potatoes, reserving liquid.
• Set liquid aside until starch sinks to bottom of bowl, about 10 minutes. Carefully pour liquid from bowl and discard, reserving milky residue (potato starch). Transfer potatoes to bowl with potato starch.
• Add onion to the bowl, then stir in eggs, beer, flour, and 1 teaspoon salt; season with pepper.
• Preheat oven to 200°F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels; set aside. In a heavy skillet, heat 1/2 inch oil. Spoon 1/4 cup potato mixture per pancake into skillet. (Make a few at a time, being careful that they don't run into one another.)
• Fry pancakes, flipping once, until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes total. Transfer to prepared baking sheet to drain and keep warm in oven while frying the rest. Serve warm with apple- sauce, sour cream, and caviar, if desired.

Steps:

• Combine the grated onion and potato in a kitchen towel and wring out as much liquid as you can. Pour the mixture into a mixing bowl. Dust with the flour and mix to disperse it. Add the egg, lemon zest, chopped dill, salt and pepper and mix until well combined.
• Heat the olive oil and butter in a large nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat. Once the bubbles from the butter subside, spoon 3 heaping tablespoons of the potato mixture into the pan. Repeat, making 4 to 8 pancakes. Cook the pancakes about 4 minutes on each side, assuring that both sides are well browned and the potato is cooked through. Reduce the heat of the pan if the potato cakes are browning too quickly in order to make sure the inside is cooked completely.
• Remove the cakes to a paper-towel-lined plate as they finish and season with salt while hot.
• (You can cover them with foil and keep in a 200 degrees F-oven to stay warm until ready to serve.)
• To serve, transfer the potato pancakes to a platter and dollop each one with the creme fraiche. Top with a sprig of dill.

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes and cover with cold water until you are ready to make the pancakes.
• Grate the potatoes and onion into a strainer that is suspended over a bowl to catch the juices. If this is hard to manage, grate the potatoes into a bowl, then turn into a strainer suspended over another bowl. Grate the potatoes and onion alternately, as the onion juice will help prevent the potatoes from darkening.
• Using a wooden spoon, or picking up handfuls of the grated potato mixture, squeeze or press out as much liquid as possible over the bowl. Reserve all liquid and let it settle in the bowl for two or three minutes
• Put the pressed potato and onion mixture in a clean bowl. Carefully pour off the watery part of the reserved liquid but do not discard the thick, starchy paste at the bottom of the bowl. Scrape that into the potato mixture.
• Add the egg yolks, potato flour or matzoh meal, salt, pepper and parsley if you are using it. Mix thoroughly. Beat the egg whites into stiff and shiny peaks and gently fold them into the potato mixture.
• Heat a half-inch depth of oil in a heavy skillet, preferably of black cast iron.
• Drop the potato mixture into the hot oil, about two tablespoons per pancake, and fry, turning once so the pancakes are a deep golden brown on both sides. Total frying time for each batch of pancakes should be about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
• Keep fried pancakes warm while the rest are being fried. To do that, put the fried, drained pancakes on a rack in an open baking pan and place in a low-heated oven (about 250 degrees). Do not hold for more than 15 minutes before serving or they will become soggy.
• Serve with applesauce.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• In large skillet, melt the butter, then add the onion and cook over moderate heat for 3 minutes, stirring.
• Remove from heat.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk three of the eggs till well blended, then add the cooked onions, potatoes, flour, salt, pepper, Tabasco and stir until mixture is firm.
• Form the mixture into 16 round pancakes and place on a large greased baking sheet.
• In a small bowl, whisk the remaining egg with the water, brush the top of each pancake with the egg wash, and bake the pancakes till golden brown, 20-25 minutes.
