IRISH STYLE POTATO-CHIVE PANCAKES

Category: Potatoes

2 lb potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 cup milk
1/3 cup chopped chives
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
3 tbsp butter, divided
1/2 cup sour cream

Place potatoes in a saucepan with water and boil until tender, 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to pan. Turn heat to medium-low and cook potatoes until dry, about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add milk. Mash potatoes until fairly smooth. Remove from heat. Stir in chives, salt and pepper.

Transfer to a bowl; cover and refrigerate until cold. (Potatoes will thicken as they cool) Form mixture into 12 patties about 3 1/2 inch in diameter and 1/2 inch thick. Melt 1 tsp butter in a skillet over medium heat until hot and sizzling. Add 3-4 patties to skillet; cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Keep warm in a 200 degree oven while cooking remaining patties in remaining butter. Serve warm with sour cream. Serves 4
