Mashed Potato and Cabbage Pancakes
Adapted from: The New York Times – Martha Rose Shulman
Servings: 6 Makes about 2 to 2 1/2 dozen small pancakes
Equipment
- 1 steamer
- 1 skillet
Ingredients
- 2 cups cabbage finely chopped steamed, about 1 pound cabbage
- 2 ½ cups potatoes mashed
- ½ cup chives chopped
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour or gluten free if appropriate
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 – 2 Tbsp butter
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 dash salt
- 1 dash pepper freshly ground
- 3- 4 tablespoons oil or frying
Instructions
- To prepare the cabbage, remove the outer leaves and quarter a small head or 1/2 of a larger head. Core and place in a steamer above 1 inch of boiling water. Steam 10 to 15 minutes, until tender when pierced with a knife or skewer.
- Remove from the heat and allow to cool, then squeeze out water, and chop fine.
- Prepare the mashed potatoes (about 1 pound 2 ounces potatoes, peeled, cut into chunks and steamed until tender – about 20 minutes – then mashed with a potato masher or a fork) and add the butter.
- Mix the potatoes and cabbage in a bowl. Add the chives, baking powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and flour.
- Beat the eggs and stir in.
- Begin heating a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Heat the oven to 300 degrees. Add 2 tablespoons of the oil and when it is hot carefully scoop up heaped tablespoons of the potato mixture and use a spoon or spatula to ease them out of the spoon into the pan.
- Gently flatten the mounds slightly with the back of a spoon or a spatula
- Brown on the first side – about 2 or 3 minutes – and using a spatula, flip the mounds over and gently push them down again. Brown on the other side and remove to a baking sheet (finished pancakes can be kept warm in the oven until all the pancakes are finished). Continue with the remaining potato mixture, adding oil to the pan as necessary.
- These pancakes make a great side dish with eggs for breakfast or with your dinner choice.
