Râpé de Pommes de Terre

This is a wonderful French
comfort food which can be
served dressed up to the
nines and accompanied by
Brie or simply served as
a hearty main course.

Ingredients to Serve 8

• 2 lb. Russet Potatoes
• 2 Eggs
• 2 Tbs. Flour
• 1 Lg. Onion; chopped
• 2 Tbs. chopped fresh Parsley
• 3-4 strokes of grated fresh Nutmeg
• Salt and pepper – a pinch to taste
• ½ C. Peanut oil

Directions:

In a bowl, grate the potatoes coarsely – removing water by pressing into an absorbent towel.  Add eggs, onion, flour and herbs and spices. Mix well.

Oil a non-stick pan and heat to medium.  Create patties from the mixture – thin for more crispy; thicker for softer.  Set patties in oil to cook.  Turn over halfway through cooking to cook both sides, when golden brown.

Enjoy as is with a green salad.

Accompaniment Suggestions:

Brie goes wonderfully with the familiarly warm flavor – and a chutney can be a topper if you desire!

Diners rave about their Lakefront experience:

When you combine a spectacular natural setting with a chef’s gift for mixing and matching creatively prepared foods, you create a dining experience unmatched in the Eastern Sierra and beyond. It’s always a treat to dine at Lakefront with Chef Frederic, but Sunday brunch on the patio is my personal favorite and an unparalleled treat each and every time!! Lakefront is at the top of everyone’s must do list for Mammoth Lakes!!
