Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Russet potatoes
- 1 cup Corn kernels
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 large Egg
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 medium Tomatoes
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro
- 0.5 small Jalapeño
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
Instructions
Peel and grate the russet potatoes. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, corn kernels, all-purpose flour, egg, chopped green onions, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until fully combined.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Scoop about 1/4 cup of the potato mixture per pancake into the skillet and flatten them gently with a spatula.
Cook the pancakes for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining potato mixture, adding more olive oil as needed.
While the pancakes are cooking, prepare the salsa. Dice the tomatoes and red onion finely. Mince the cilantro and jalapeño (remove seeds for less heat).
In a small bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, and lime juice. Stir well and season with a pinch of salt, if desired.
Serve the corn and potato pancakes warm, topped with a generous spoonful of the fresh salsa. Enjoy!
