POTATO PANCAKES WITH 3 TOPPINGS
Serve these cakes warm at an Oktoberfest cocktail party, and let your guests choose their toppings. As an easy alternative to making the pancakes from shredded potatoes, you could use a German potato pancake mix.
8 cups (loosely packed) frozen shredded potatoes
4 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Vegetable oil for frying
TOPPINGS (RECIPES FOLLOW):
Black Forest Ham and Sauerkraut
Smoked Salmon and Spicy Creme Fraiche
BBQ-Curry Chicken
Combine potatoes, beaten eggs, flour, salt and pepper in a large bowl and stir well, until flour is no longer visible.
Heat 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet.
Use a 1/4 cup measure to scoop three piles of potato mixture into hot oil. Let fry on medium-high heat about until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Turn cakes and press down with a spatula, flattening them as much as possible. Fry until golden brown, and remove onto paper towels. Repeat with remaining potato mixture.
Serve pancakes immediately, or store refrigerated until ready to serve, and reheat in a 350 degree F. oven for 10 minutes.
