Potato Pancakes With Chunky Vegetable Stew Recipes

VEGETABLE STEW WITH POTATO AND CHEESE PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a medium pot over moderate heat saute garlic and mushrooms in extra-virgin olive oil for 2 or 3 minutes. Add zucchini and onion to the pot and season vegetables with salt and pepper. Saute another 5 minutes. Add beans, cumin, tomato and chopped rosemary. Bring stew to a bubble, reduce heat to low and simmer 10 minutes.
• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add a thin layer of olive oil or vegetable oil to the pan, just enough to coat the bottom. Combine potatoes with onions and flour. Mix in shredded cheese. Spoon piles of potato and cheese mixture into the pan, making 3-inch rounds, 1-inch apart. Cook cakes until golden and crispy, about 4 minutes on each side. Remove cooked cakes and repeat process.
• Arrange cakes, 3 per person, on dinner plates and top with ladles of mushroom and zucchini stew.

VEGETABLE POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• 1. Grate the onions and shred the carrots and zucchini. I used a food processor. These are the veggies that I used.
• 2. Add the cold mashed potatoes to a medium size bowl
• 3. Add in the shredded zucchini and carrots, along with the grated onions. Stir and mix together with a large spoon.
• 4. Add in the large eggs, and blend together with the potato mixture.
• 5. Add in the flour and stir until it is mixed well with the potatoes.
• 6. Heat about 3 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet, I used a 16 inch size skillet. Then using a medium size spoon, spoon mixture into hot skillet and press each pancake down with the back of a spoon.
• 7. Continue to cook until pancakes are browned on one side, then flip using a spatula, and brown the other side, about 4-5 minutes depending on how high the heat is.
• 8. When fully cooked remove pancakes to a platter that has been lined with paper towel to drain excess oil. Repeat until all the pancakes are cooked. Serve while still hot, with Sour Cream, applesauce, or Catsup, or eat plain as desired.
