and Chive Potato Pancakes
Submitted
by: Jezebel Jen |
1 large
russet potato
2 slices of cooked lean bacon, crumbled
2 tablespoons olive oil |
2
tablespoons chopped fresh chives or green
scallion
Sour cream (optional)
|
| Peel the
potato, grate it coarse, and press it between
several thicknesses of paper towel to remove any
excess moisture. In a bowl stir together the
potato, the bacon, the chives, and salt and
pepper to taste. In a large heavy skillet heat
the oil over moderately high heat until it is hot
but not smoking, form the potato mixture into 4
patties, and cook the patties, tamping them down
with a spatula, for 5 to 7 minutes on each side,
or until the pancakes are golden brown and cooked
through.
Serve the pancakes with the sour cream. Serves 2.
