Scallion Potato Pancake And Smoked Salmon Sandwiches Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a small mixing bowl, combine the mustard, vinegar and shallots. Whisk in the canola and olive oils to emulsify the dressing, and then fold in the capers and dill. Season with pepper only, as the capers are salty.
• On the large-hole side of a box grater, grate the onion into a strainer set over a bowl. Then, peel the potatoes. It is important to work quickly to avoid potato oxidation. You do not want to store the potatoes in water, as the starch will be washed away. Using the large-hole side of the box grater, grate the potatoes into the strainer. Press out the liquid and discard. Toss the potatoes with the onions and season with salt and pepper.
• In an 8-inch nonstick saute pan set over medium-high heat, melt the Clarified Butter. It will seem like a lot of butter. Pack the potatoes into the pan, so that the layer is 1/2-inch thick. Saute the potatoes until the bottom just starts to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Carefully and gently flip the potato pancake onto a small plate browned-side up. Then slide the potato pancake back into the pan and brown on the other side over medium-high heat. Place in the oven and cook until evenly golden, another 10 to 15 minutes. Drain the potato pancake on a paper towel and cut into quarters.
• Roll the smoked salmon into rosettes. Top the potato pancake slices with the smoked salmon rosettes, a few dollops of creme fraiche and the dill fronds. Drizzle with the vinaigrette before serving.
• Heat the butter in a heavy-duty saucepan over very low heat until it's melted. Simmer gently until the foam rises to the top of the melted butter. The butter may splatter a bit, so be careful.
• Once the butter stops spluttering and no more foam seems to be rising to the surface, remove from the heat and skim off the foam with a spoon.
• Line a mesh strainer with a few layers of cheesecloth or gauze and set the strainer over a heatproof container.
• Carefully pour the warm butter through the cheesecloth-lined strainer into the container, discarding any solids from the bottom of the pan.

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:

• 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 large bowl combine hash browns, pancake mix, egg, soup mix, scallions, and rose water. Heat oil on a griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat. Drop hash brown mixture, in tablespoon-sized portions onto hot pan, and cook until golden brown, turning halfway through. Remove from pan to drain and then serve by placing a dollop of sour cream on top of each pancake. To create an extremely special garnish, roll each salmon strip, starting with large end, and place on its side to create a rose-shaped bundle. Place 1 "rose" salmon strip on each potato pancake amid the sour cream. Sprinkle with scallions.

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.
