Scallion Potato Pancakes with Vinegar Cream
This is a very simple traditional Swiss dish called rösti, with the addition of scallions. The potatoes should be boiled the night before, which makes this dish very quick to pull together -- and absolutely great for breakfast. The cream topping is inspired by The French Laundry Cookbook, p.64. I made it my own by adding tarragon, scallions, and garlic.
What you will need
1 russet potato, large
1/2 cup scallions, green and white parts only, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 pinch salt
1 pinch white pepper
3 tablespoons duck fat
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1 scallion, dark green part only, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon garlic, finely grated
1 teaspoon tarragon leaves, finely chopped
1 pinch salt
1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
