Shredded potato pancakes with smoked salmon

1 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 pounds Russet; (baking) potatoes
½ cup Vegetable oil
1 pounds Thinly sliced smoked salmon
Sour cream as an accompaniment

Directions

Peel half the potatoes, grate them coarse (preferably in a food processor), and press them between several thicknesses of paper towel to remove any excess moisture. In a large heavy skillet heat ¼ cup of the oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking. In a bowl toss the grated potatoes with salt and pepper to taste, form them into 4 patties, and in the skillet cook the patties, tamping them down with a spatula, for 5 minutes on each side, or until the pancakes are golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the pancakes to paper towels to drain and keep them warm in a 200F. oven. Make 4 more pancakes in the same manner with the remaining potatoes and oil and serve the pancakes with the smoked salmon and the sour cream.

Serves 8.
