CRêPES PARMENTIER

Steps:

• Microwave the potatoes with 2 tablespoons water on high for a few minutes until tender. In a large bowl, whisk to combine all the other ingredients except the salt, pepper and butter. When the potatoes are done and still steaming, run them through a ricer or food mill into the bowl. Mix this batter well and season.
• Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat, skimming the froth. Turn off the heat. After giving the white solids a few minutes to settle, tilt the pan and pour the liquid butter slowly into a second saucepan, leaving the solids behind. Warm one tablespoon of this clarified butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Fry 3 crepes, using a tablespoon of batter for each. When the tops are nearly set, about a minute and a half, flip them and briefly fry the other side. Transfer them to a platter in a low oven. Repeat with more butter and more batter until the batter is gone.

BASIC CREPES

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and the eggs. Gradually add in the milk and water, stirring to combine. Add the salt and butter; beat until smooth.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each crepe. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly.
• Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown. Loosen with a spatula, turn and cook the other side. Serve hot.
