Fresh Corn & Chive Potato Pancakes Recipe

Prep Time: 20 mins  Cooking Time: 15 to 20 mins

Ingredients:
4 medium russet potatoes
1 medium brown onion
4 ears fresh corn, kernels removed
1 tablespoons jarred minced garlic
1 tablespoon fresh chopped chives
2 eggs
3/4 cup corn meal
1/2 cup canola oil
coarse kosher salt & pepper
sour cream or plain yogurt for serving

1. Peel and quarter the potatoes and onions. Fit your food processor with the standard blade and place potatoes and onions in the food processor.

2. Pulse until the potatoes and onions are finely minced. Add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic and 2 eggs and pulse again.

3. Add half the corn meal in a circular motion covering the top of the mixture and pulse once more. Add 1/2 the corn and pulse again.

4. Transfer mixture to a large bowl and mix in remaining corn, chives and salt and pepper to taste.

5. Heat 1 inch of oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet. When oil is hot (just before it smokes) ladle 1/3 cup sized portions into the oil and cook until golden brown on the bottom. Once the bottom side is brown  gently flip over the pancake.

6. When both sides are golden brown, lift the pancake from the pan with a slotted spatula and place on a paper towel to drain. Repeat the process with the remaining batter. Add more oil if necessary.

7. When ready to eat, serve with sour cream or plain yogurt.
