Potato Pancakes With Gravlax And Dill Recipes

DILL-SCALLION POTATO PANCAKES

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.

POTATO PANCAKES WITH GRAVLAX AND DILL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place grated onion in a fine sieve, and press out as much moisture as possible. Combine onion, potatoes, chopped dill, salt, pepper, and egg white in a medium bowl, and stir to combine.
• Coat two baking sheets with olive-oil cooking spray. Form pancakes by dropping about 1 tablespoon mixture on tray for each and flattening into disks. Bake until golden brown on bottom, about 10 minutes, rotating trays once during cooking. Remove from oven, and turn pancakes over. Return to oven, and bake until brown on both sides, about 7 minutes more.
• Serve pancakes topped with gravlax and a dab of reduced-fat sour cream. Garnish with dill sprigs.

GRAVLAX-POTATO GRATIN (LAXPUDDING)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 F. Peel and slice potatoes, about ¼ inch thick. Peel and thinly slice the onion. Grease the baking dish with 1 tablespoon butter. Layer the potatoes across the bottom; add a layer of onions, followed by a layer of gravlax. Repeat with one more layer each of potato, onion, and gravlax; finish with a layer of potato, then a final layer of onion. (Note: Based on the exact size and shape of your baking dish, you may have extra ingredients. Use the remainder to make a second, smaller gratin, or reserve the ingredients for another use.)
• Crack eggs into a bowl; add the milk, then whisk to combine. Add white pepper and salt, and stir to combine. Pour over the casserole dish, just to cover the top, distributing evenly. Finely chop ¾ of the dill; sprinkle over the top of the casserole. Bake in the oven until potatoes are cooked through and the top is golden brown, 40-45 minutes.
• Test potatoes for doneness by inserting a knife through the layers of the gratin. It should slide in smoothly and come out clean. Allow to rest for about 10-15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt remaining butter in a small skillet. Plate the gratin, and top each serving with a dill sprig and a generous drizzle of melted butter. Serve with fresh lemon wedges.
