Potato Pancakes
- 1 pound all-purpose potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
- 1/4 cup self-rising flour
- 3 large eggs
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- Pinch of freshly ground white pepper
- 2 large egg whites
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water until tender, about 15 minutes.
- Drain, then press through a large fine strainer into a bowl.
- Let cool slightly, then beat in the flour and eggs.
- In a small saucepan, bring the cream and milk to a simmer.
- Add to the potatoes and whisk until smooth.
- Season with the salt and white pepper.
- Beat the egg whites until firm, then fold them into the potato batter.
- Heat 1/2 tablespoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet.
- Spoon 3 tablespoons of the batter into the skillet for each pancake and cook over moderate heat until golden on the bottom and barely dry on top, about 2 minutes.
- Flip the pancakes and cook until golden, about 2 minutes longer.
- Add some more of the oil for each batch.
- Serve hot.
