Broccoli Potato Pancakes Recipes

POTATO AND BROCCOLI CAKES

Steps:

• In a medium skillet over medium heat, add the oil, leeks, onions and garlic and cook 4 minutes, until soft.
• Meanwhile, chop the potato into 1/8th inch dice. The best way to do this is slice them into 1/8th inch strips, then cut the strips into small cubes.
• Add the potatoes, salt and 2 tablespoons of water, cover and cook medium-low heat until soft, about 10 minutes.
• Add the broccoli, 2 more tablespoons of water and cook covered 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender.
• Let cool 10 minutes.
• Add the cheese and roll into 4 balls, about 1/2 cup (3 1/2 ounces) each. Flatten to form cakes.
• To cook, heat a large skillet over medium heat, cook 4 to 5 minutes until the bottom is golden, gently flip and cook and additional 4 to 5 minutes. You can freeze whatever you don't eat. To reheat from frozen, bake in 390F preheated oven 25 minutes.

POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• In large bowl, stir together thoroughly eggs, green onions, potatoes, flour, baking powder, salt and pepper.
• Heat 10-inch cast-iron skillet or large griddle over medium-high heat. Coat bottom of skillet with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
• Scoop heaping tablespoonfuls potato mixture into skillet; use pancake turner to flatten into pancake shape. Cook about 3 minutes on each side until deep golden brown and crispy. Make sure skillet is fully coated with oil before each batch.
• Serve warm with sour cream or applesauce.

MASHED POTATO AND BROCCOLI RAAB PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together the mashed potatoes, finely chopped broccoli raab, chives, baking powder, salt, pepper, Parmesan and flour. Beat the eggs and stir in.
• Begin heating a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Heat the oven to 300 degrees. Add 2 tablespoons of the oil and when it is hot carefully scoop up heaped tablespoons of the potato mixture and use a spoon or spatula to ease them out of the spoon into the pan. Gently flatten the mounds slightly with the back of a spoon or a spatula but don't worry if this is hard to do - if they stick -- because when you flip them over you can flatten them into pancakes. Brown on the first side - about 2 or 3 minutes - and using a spatula, flip the potato and broccoli raab mounds over and gently push them down so that they will be shaped like pancakes. Brown on the other side and remove to a baking sheet. Continue with the remaining potato mixture, adding oil to the pan as necessary.
