Crispy Potato Pancakes

I cooked them on a griddle to reduce fat. I think I would make them thinner and cook at a slightly higher temperature for crisper texture next time.

I made this recipe. I added green onions and replaced nutmeg with a heavy dose of chilli powder. I wasn't sure if the mixture was supposed to be so wet (I clothe dried the potatoes, but still wet) so I added a bit extra flower. I also added seasoning salt and the pepper. I read they put garlic in thought that was a good idea so I added 2 cloves. But Im not supposed to eat fried food so I baked them at 425 until brown then flipped them over. After they were basically cooked through I added some shredded sharp cheddar and topped with a dab of sour cream and salsa!! AMAZING!

These had a good flavor, but one would be in the kitchen all day following the directions as is! Instead of peeling and shredding 2 lbs of potatoes with a grater, I just used 1 2lb 4oz bag of defrosted Ora-Ida hashbrown potatoes. I used a sweet yellow onion and it was gigantic, so I just used one onion. It would have taken forever, and a lot of tears, to mince the thing so I just chopped it large and then put in my Vitamix blender on medium speed about 10-20 seconds, processing them down with the tamper. It created closer to a puree. It worked fine and at least I know the onions got cooked through. Lastly, I highly suggest using a a large plug-in griddle if making the recipe. Only 4 will fit in a standard sized pan and I found one batch takes 20 minutes. I got 14 patties, using a mashed potato scoop, and all would fit on one of those large rectangular plug in griddles at one time. That would save a full hour of cooking time.

These were a hit in our family. I grate the potatoes into a salad spinner full of cold water - triple rinse to remove the potato starch and spin dry. The result is beautifully crispy potatoes.
