SAVORY SIDE DISHES

Potato Pancakes

Makes eight 2-inch pancakes

1green onion, trimmed, cut into 1-inch pieces

12ounces Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled, cut to fit feed tube

2 ounces yellow onion

1 egg, lightly beaten

1 teaspoon kosher salt

2 tablespoon vegetable oil

Place the green onion in the work bowl of the food processor fitted with the chopping blade. Process on high until finely chopped. Insert the shredding disc and place cover on work bowl. Place potatoes in feed tube and shred on Food Processor. Continue with any remaining potatoes and then the yellow onion. Transfer contents of work bowl to a clean tea towel which has been laid out on the counter. Over the sink or mixing bowl, use the tea towel to wring out as much liquid as you can from the potatoes and onion. Transfer ingredients to a mixing bowl. Add egg, salt, and pepper and mix well.

Place a nonstick 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the vegetable oil. Form small pancakes with your hands, squeezing out any remaining liquid. When the oil shimmers in the pan, add pancakes. Cook approximately 3 minutes on each side until pancake is golden brown or to your desired doneness. Repeat until all pancakes are cooked.
