    Crisp Potato Cakes with Smoked Salmon and Chives

    Recipe copyright 1999, Tyler Florence. All rights reserved.

    Ingredients:

    6 large baked potatoes
    2 bunches of chives
    2 Tbs. sour cream
    2 Tbs. olive oil
    12 slices smoked salmon
    13 eggs
    2 oz. milk
    2 oz. butter
    Salt and pepper to taste
    Olive oil for sauteing

    Preparation:

    Once the baked potatoes have cooled, remove the skins and use a box grater to grate them into a mixing bowl. Add olive oil, sour cream and minced chives; finish with egg and mix very well. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Form by hand into 4 large potato cakes. In a medium saute pan, heat olive oil -- approximately 2 ounces at a time -- to a slight smoke. Fry 2 potato cakes at a time. Lower heat and allow to crisp approximately 3 minutes per side. Once both sides are crisp and all 4 cakes are made, drain on a paper towel and reserve in a warm place. Crack 12 eggs and whisk with a fork. Add 2 ounces milk. Season with salt and pepper to taste. In the same nonstick pan, add 2 ounces of butter. Over medium heat slowly stir in eggs and begin to scramble.

    Once eggs are finished, fold in 12 slices of julienned smoked salmon and a handful of minced chives. For presentation, place one warm potato cake in the middle of each plate. Then carefully spoon scrambled-egg mixture on top and garnish with chives.
