Parsnip Pancakes with Caramelized Onions & Sour Cream

Scott Phillips

Servings:four.

These pancakes are perfect partners for a simple roast like pork, lamb, or chicken. The onions can be cooked ahead and reheated just before serving; the parsnips can also be parcooked, grated, and combined with the chopped leek a few hours ahead.

Ingredients

  • 3 Tbs. olive oil
  • 2 Tbs. unsalted butter
  • 1 large or 2 small yellow onions, thinly sliced (to yield about 2 cups)
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 lb. small to medium parsnips (about 6 medium), peeled (if very thick, halve them lengthwise)
  • 1 medium leek, white part only, finely chopped (to yield about 1/2 cup)
  • 1大鸡蛋,光ly beaten
  • 3 Tbs. all-purpose flour
  • Sour cream for garnish

Preparation

  • In a medium skillet, heat 1 Tbs. each of the olive oil and butter over medium heat. When the foam subsides, add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until very soft and golden, 20 to 25 minutes; reduce the heat if they brown too quickly. Season with salt to taste and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, bring 2 quarts salted water to a boil. Add the parsnips (cut them in half if they don’t fit in the pan) and cook for 3 minutes. Drain, run under cold water to cool them quickly, and drain again very well. Grate the parsnips in a food processor fitted with a medium grating disk. In a medium bowl, combine the parsnips, leek, and egg. Stir in the flour, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/8 tsp. pepper.
  • In a 10-to 12-inch heavy skillet, heat the remaining 2 Tbs. oil and 1 Tbs. butter over medium-high heat until the foam subsides. Shape the parsnip mixture into four equal balls. Put them in the skillet and press on each with a flat spatula to make a cake about 3-1/2 inches wide. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until browned on one side, 4 to 6 minutes. Turn the cakes over and brown the other side, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip to recrisp the first side, about 30 seconds. Drain briefly on paper towels and then serve while hot, garnished with a large dollop of sour cream and the caramelized onions.

    Very nice recipe! I used a 1/4-cup scoop to portion the pancake mixture directly into the skillet. Much easier than trying to shape it into balls first (and less messy). Also, smaller pancakes are easier to flip and, also, are crispier.

    love.love.love these! Made them with a roast, instead of typical potatoes. The pungent, almost peppery flavor of the parsnips is beautifully balanced by the sweet, caramelized onions. I added a little balsamic vinegar at the end of their caramelizing and reduced for a few minutes which added a deeper layer of sweetness to the onions. I think that a little fresh goat cheese instead of the sour cream would also be nice.oh... also, I didn't have any leeks so I used scallions instead.And I have to eat gluten free so just substituted rice flour for the wheat flour. Perfect!
