Sausage and Potato Pancakes
Makes 12
Ingredients
- ½ pound breakfast sausage
- 1½ pounds Yukon gold potatoes
- 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
- ½ teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ cup thinly sliced green onions
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- Garnish: sliced green onions
Instructions
- Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add sausage and cook, breaking into small pieces, until browned and crumbly, 7 to 10 minutes.
- Using a box grater, grate potatoes. Gather in cheese cloth or kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, thyme, flour, salt, paprika, and pepper. Fold in potatoes, green onions, and cooked sausage.
- Set a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Using a ¼-cup measuring cup, scoop 3 portions of mixture into skillet and gently press to flatten. Cook, turning once, until golden brown and crispy on both sides, 5 to 6 minutes. Let drain on prepared wire rack. Repeat with remaining oil and potato mixture. Garnish with sliced green onions, if desired.
