Russian Potato Pancakes

 

Recipe By : Jeff Smith

Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Frugal03

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 pound Russet potatoes

1 Egg

1/2 cup All-purpose flour -- plus

4 tablespoons All-purpose flour

Salt -- to taste

Freshly-ground white pepper -- to taste

2 tablespoons Oil

Peanut oil -- for frying

 

Peel the potatoes and soak them in salted water. (This will prevent

discoloration.)

 

Grate the potatoes and then grind them fine in a food grinder.

Combine the potatoes with the egg, flour, salt and pepper and oil. Mix

well.

 

In one-sixteenth inch of oil, panfry a few pancakes at a time until

they are golden brown and crisp on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side.

Remove to paper towels to drain.

 

Serve warm with sour cream and applesauce. This recipe makes about 1

dozen pancakes.

 

Note: Use a mounded tablespoon to measure out the batter and flatten

into a 4-inch circle in the hot oil. These pancakes should be thin and

crispy.

 

Comments: This dish is Russian, it is Jewish, it is peasant, it is

delicious. When Russian immigrants came to these shores they found

potatoes were even more plentiful here than in the homeland. So what do

you eat? Potatoes!
