LACY POTATO PANCAKES
3 large Idaho Potatoes (1-1/2 pounds
total, 680g), peeled, scrubbed and cut
flat at one end
2 teaspoons salt
Freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh
chives (optional)
1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter
or margarine
1/4 cup (60ml) vegetable oil
Pour 1-1/2 cups (360ml) of cold water into
work bowl. (Water helps prevent potatoes from
discoloring.) Insert shredding disc and process
potatoes, using firm pressure.* Drain, and use
paper towels to squeeze out as much moisture
as possible. Toss in mixing bowl with salt,
pepper and chives (if using).
Heat 2 tablespoons of butter or margarine and
2 tablespoons of oil in large heavy skillet.
When foam subsides, put 2 tablespoon
mounds of shredded potatoes in skillet,
flattening each into round shape with spatula.
Fry 3 or 4 pancakes at a time, over medium-
high heat, cooking until crisp and golden,
about 2 or 3 minutes each side.
Continue with remaining potatoes, adding
more butter and oil to skillet as necessary.
Makes 24 pancakes.
*An optional fine-shredding disc with detach-
able stem makes extra fine shreds of potatoes -
perfect for potato pancakes.
