Crispy Potato Horseradish Cakes
- 1 onion, grated
- 3 baking potatoes, like russets peeled and grated
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus more, as needed
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons finely grated fresh horseradish
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 6 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 cup creme fraiche or sour cream
- Fresh dill sprigs, for garnish
- In a bowl, combine the onion and potato.
- Dust with the flour and mix to disperse it.
- Add the eggs, horseradish, lemon zest, fresh dill, salt, and pepper, and mix until well combined.
- In a large non-stick saute pan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat.
- Once the bubbles from the butter subside, spoon 3 heaping tablespoons of the potato mixture into the saute pan.
- Repeat, making 8 to 12 pancakes.
- Cook pancakes about 4 minutes on each side, assuring that both sides are well browned and the potato is cooked through.
- Reduce the heat of the pan if the potato cakes are browning too quickly in order to make sure the inside is cooked completely.
- Remove the cakes to a paper towel lined plate as they finish, and season with salt while hot.
- You can cover them with foil and keep in a 200 degrees F oven to stay warm until ready to serve.
- To serve, transfer potato cakes to a platter and dollop each one with creme fraiche.
- Top with a sprig of dill.
