Potato Pancakes:

I have to admit James McNair inspired me for this recipe. I was pondering what to prepare with the Orange Roughy Kabobs. I decided on a crisp potato pancake. I peeled one pound of baking potatoes. I grated them(with the help of my food processor).I put them in a bowl of ice cubes and water,let them sit for 5 minutes and poured out the water. I squeezed all remaining liquid and starch out by placing the grated potatoes in a towel.I squeezed out all liquid.I placed potatoes in a bowl .I beat four eggs,chopped 1/2 cup of onion,I measured 4 tbsp of unbleached flour.salt and pepper big pinch.I then added beaten eggs,flour ,salt and pepper to the bowl . I chilled this in freezer 10 minutes.

In a large skillet I poured canola oil to cover bottom of the pan on medium heat.I added potato mixture and made a large pancake. I flattened it so it was not thick.I let it cook until golden and flipped it.I waited a few more minutes for the other side to get crispy.

Now if you want to be creative, add grated celery root, carrot, butternut sqaush to potato mixture. Or.... chopped scallions, basil, garlic, parsley .

It tasted perfect! Crisp out side and soft inside.A hit!
