pancakes flavored with pine nuts



Yesterday I wanted to prepare potatoes for dinner and then I remembered my great number of "Modern Kitchen, Gold Series" entitled THE TRIUMPH OF POTATO full of delicious recipes, tasty and very, very inviting.
the end I decided to make these " fritters scented with pine nuts, why risk a little spice and rich in family, except me, do not go crazy about the smell.
However I have not given up and I proceeded to the preparation.
from the original recipe Ingredients: 300 gr potatoes

6 eggs

teaspoon thyme 2 tablespoons parsley, a tablespoon of fresh mint

an onion

3 tablespoons pine nuts 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper.
I actually I put more potatoes ... this has made it more difficult to transform because the pancakes potatoes stick to the bottom of the pan but I wanted to get that taste Patat (grant me the poetic license) that reminds me of the pancakes so much that I was preparing my grandmother.
However, the process is very simple.
Boil the potatoes in salted water
and cook for 30-45 minutes (depending on the size and quality of potatoes)
the resumption of boiling water.
Once drained, peel and mash with potato masher,
put the mixture into a bowl.
Remember to put the salt if you did not
in the cooking of the potatoes.
Add all other ingredients except pine nuts,
(I put also the mixture of 7 slices of fontina ..... I advanced
series do not throw anything) and mix well together.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan back and forth through the pine nuts until
will remove them after that beautiful golden
resting them on absorbent paper and then add them to the compound.
the pan where you pour the mixture fried pine nuts,
for the amount you choose at your leisure, or to make an omelette
large or small pancakes. I made these

served with pine nuts and orange peel fragrant and these
timbale served with Swiss chard sauté with garlic, chilli and soooooo heart bacon and sausage.
taste .... excellent!
The thymus gives him a special touch so for those who do not particularly like the taste or new areas we can easily omit or replace with the rosemary.
I hope you like it ..... enjoy!
