Apple-potato pancakes with jalapeno and thyme are a delightful twist on the classic potato pancake. The sweetness of apples combined with the heat of jalapeno and the earthy flavor of fresh thyme create a delicious, savory dish that is perfect for any meal.
Instructions:
- Peel the potatoes and grate them using a grater. Place the grated potatoes in a bowl of cold water to prevent them from browning.
- Core and grate the apples. Set them aside.
- Finely chop the ½ onion.
- Finely chop the jalapeno peppers. (If you prefer less heat, remove the seeds and ribs.)
- Remove the thyme leaves from their stems and finely chop them if needed.
- Drain the grated potatoes thoroughly and squeeze out as much water as possible using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, grated apples, chopped onion, finely chopped jalapenos, and fresh thyme.
- Add the ½ cup of white rice flour to the mixture.
- Season with a dash of salt.
- Mix everything together until well combined.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture into the skillet for each pancake. Flatten them gently with a spatula to form patties.
- Cook the pancakes for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Repeat the process, adding more coconut oil as needed, until all the mixture is used up.
- Serve the apple-potato pancakes hot, garnished with additional fresh thyme if desired.
- These pancakes make a great appetizer, side dish, or even a light main course.
Tips:
- Grate the potatoes and apples just before using to prevent them from discoloring.
- Squeeze out excess moisture from the shredded potatoes and apples to ensure crispy pancakes.
- Adjust the amount of jalapeno according to your heat preference.
- You can substitute white rice flour with other gluten-free flours if needed.
- Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the batter to get perfectly crispy edges.
- If cooking in batches, keep the cooked pancakes warm in a low oven.
With a balance of sweet, spicy, and savory flavors, these apple-potato pancakes with jalapeno and thyme are sure to become a favorite. They are versatile and can be served as a side dish, a snack, or even a main course. Enjoy your delicious, crispy pancakes and feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors!
