ZUCCHINI AND POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a sieve or colander, drain the zucchini and potato, squeezing to remove excess liquid. Pat dry; set aside. In a large bowl, combine the bread crumbs, flour, baking soda, salt and pepper. Stir in eggs until blended. Add the onion, garlic and zucchini mixture; toss to coat., Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Drop batter by 1/4 cupfuls into oil.

YOGURT PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F; line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and have it ready to hold the cooked pancakes and keep them warm.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
• In a separate large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, milk, butter, eggs, and vanilla. Fold the flour mixture into the yogurt mixture until just combined. A few lumps are fine.
• In a large skillet or griddle, melt a pat of butter over medium heat until the foaming subsides. Ladle a scant 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan at a time, leaving space between each pancake (the pancakes will expand). When the pancakes get dry around the edges and large bubbles form at the top of the pancake, 3 to 4 minutes, flip the pancakes and cook until light golden brown underneath, 2 to 3 minutes more. Adjust the heat as needed to cook the pancakes through without burning. Transfer the cooked pancakes to the prepared pan and keep warm in the oven. Serve warm, with plenty of warm maple syrup and fresh berries on the side.

• Mix all pancake ingredients in bowl, and let settle for 5-10 minutes. Heat skillet to medium heat with oil for pan-frying. Preheat oven to low or hold, to keep pancakes warm as you fry one at a time.

POTATO PANCAKES

• Combine the grated onion and potato in a kitchen towel and wring out as much liquid as you can. Pour the mixture into a mixing bowl. Dust with the flour and mix to disperse it. Add the egg, lemon zest, chopped dill, salt and pepper and mix until well combined.
• Heat the olive oil and butter in a large nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat. Once the bubbles from the butter subside, spoon 3 heaping tablespoons of the potato mixture into the pan. Repeat, making 4 to 8 pancakes. Cook the pancakes about 4 minutes on each side, assuring that both sides are well browned and the potato is cooked through. Reduce the heat of the pan if the potato cakes are browning too quickly in order to make sure the inside is cooked completely.
• Remove the cakes to a paper-towel-lined plate as they finish and season with salt while hot.
• (You can cover them with foil and keep in a 200 degrees F-oven to stay warm until ready to serve.)
• To serve, transfer the potato pancakes to a platter and dollop each one with the creme fraiche. Top with a sprig of dill.
