Crispy Potato Patties With Roasted Red Pepper Salsa Recipes

CRISPY POTATO-PEPPER CAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, mix potatoes and bell pepper. In a small bowl, beat eggs with cheese and herbs de Provence. Add to potato mixture and mix thoroughly. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high. Spoon a scant 1/4 cup of potato mixture at a time into the skillet, pressing with the back of a spatula to flatten to a round about 3 inches in diameter; cook no more than 4 cakes at a time. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden, turn, and cook other side until golden. Transfer to paper towels to drain and then transfer to a baking sheet and hold in the warm oven. Repeat with the remaining potato mixture. Serve topped with spoonful of sour cream and sprinkled with basil shreds.

CRISPY POTATOES WITH ROASTED PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large pot over high heat, add the potatoes and cover with water by 1-inch. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then add a pinch of salt, reduce the heat and simmer until slightly tender, but not easily poked by a fork, about 10 minutes. Drain the potatoes and pour put them onto a baking sheet to cool completely.
• In a large pan add the olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. When the oil begins to swirl, add the potatoes, season with salt and leave alone to allow a crust to form, about 5 minutes. Once a crust forms on the bottom give the potatoes a toss or flip them with a spatula and allow them to crisp on the other side, about 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove the potatoes to a serving bowl with a slotted spoon. Serve drizzled with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Put the bell peppers, onion, garlic, and peppercorns on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with a healthy pinch of salt. Mix with your hands to fully coat the vegetables, and arrange the bell peppers, skin side up, so that the garlic and peppercorns can hide under the cavity of the bell pepper halves. Roast until the skin of the peppers begins to blacken and pucker, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately put all of the ingredients and residue from the baking sheet into a bowl, and quickly cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let the peppers steam for about 5 minutes. Remove the pepper halves and, using your fingers, remove their skin by gently ripping and pulling it off, and return the peeled peppers to the bowl.
• Add the mixture to a blender along with the chili sauce. Pulse lightly until almost smooth, but still having a slight texture. Season, to taste, with salt and pour it into a small bowl.

CRISPY POTATO PATTIES WITH ROASTED RED PEPPER SALSA

Steps:

• To make the patties, combine the Simply Potatoes, goat cheese crumbles, cumin and black pepper in a large bowl. Take a heaping tablespoon of the potatoes and shape into a 1 inch patty. Place the patties on a cookie sheet and refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight.
• To make the salsa, roast 2 red peppers over gas flame or under a broiler. Place roasted red peppers in a plastic bag until cool enough to handle. Peel off blackened skin, chop up peppers and place them in a medium bowl. Combine peppers with cilantro, green onions, black olives and lime juice. Refrigerate salsa at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Just before serving, fry the potato patties. Combine the egg and milk in small bowl and place the panko bread crumbs in a medium bowl. Heat the vegetable oil in a 10 inch frying pan on medium high for 4-5 minutes. Dip the potato patties in the egg mixture first and then coat both sides in the panko. Fry the patties in 2 batches in the hot oil 4 minutes per side or until golden brown. Drain fried patties on a paper towel.
• Top each potato patty with a tablespoon of red pepper salsa and serve immediately.
