Kotlety Ziemniaczane #BakingBloggers


With Sue of A Palatable Pastime as our host, we're sharing our favorite Polish recipes! She wrote: "We're baking foods from Poland this month. Sweet or savory, some portion of the  recipe should be baked."

I can't wait to have some new Polish recipes. Here's the line-up...

Kotlety Ziemniaczane

I actually made a different Polish dish first, also made with potatoes, but that was not a success. So, I landed on this recipe. What I liked about these potato pancakes is that they are made with mashed potatoes which rendered them a consistent texture throughout. I have found that when I make other potato pancakes, such as latkes, some strands of potatoes are soft while other are crunchy. These cutlets are smooth and creamy in the middle, crisped on the outside.

Also, I really wanted to try the version where they sit on a mushroom sauce. But one of my boys is fungi-averse. I went with a tomato sauce on the bottom and it was delicious.

Ingredients serves 4 to 6

  • 10 small to medium organic potatoes (I used red ones)
  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dill, optional
  • oil for greasing the pan
  • Also needed: baking dish, potato masher, griddle, tomato sauce for serving

Procedure

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Scrub and dry potatoes. Place them in a baking dish and into the oven. Roast for an hour. You should be able to pierce them easily with a fork press into the potato with your fingers. If they aren't done, put them back into the oven and check every 5 minutes until they're done.

Place potatoes in a large mixing bowl and mash them by hand. Fold in the flour, salt, pepper, and dill, if using. Let cool until you can handle the potatoes in your hand.


Heat griddle over medium heat and brush the surface with oil. Form 3/4 cup of potatoes into a patty and place on the pan.


Grill potato cutlet until nicely browned and crisp on one side, approximately 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the cake over and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes.

To serve, heat your tomato sauce and spoon it into individual serving bowls. Top the sauce with a potato cake and serve immediately.

That's a wrap for our baked Polish recipes. I hope you'll join us next month when we share baked recipes with pumpkin or butternut squash. Stay tuned...

  1. Potato patties are one of my go-to recipes anytime we have leftover mashed potatoes because we love the golden outsides. I love the idea of serving them on top of sauce!

  3. I make these whenever we have leftover potatoes. Sometimes they are dinner all by themselves. Frank likes them with applesauce....it's a Polish thing.

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found."

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce
