INSTRUCTIONS: |
|
|
- Heat about 1/3 cup of oil over medium to medium-high heat.
- Drain the shredded potatoes, pressing them down into a colander to
get their moisture out.
- Place the potatoes in a bowl.
- Using a box grater, grate the onion directly into the potatoes so
that the onion juices fall into bowl as well.
- Add the egg and matza to the bowl then season with spices and
salt.
- Combine and drop enough batter into hot oil to make 2 1/2 inch
pancakes.
- Add more oil, as needed, and fry cakes in batches until deeply
golden on each side.
- Mixture will yield about 16 pancakes.
- Place cooked pancakes on paper towels so that excess oil can be
absorbed into toweling.
- Cut the avocados in half, all the way around the pit.
- Remove the pit with a spoon.
- Scoop the flesh into a bowl and add the lemon juice, onion,
garlic, jalapenos and a generous amount of salt.
- Mash the guacamole to a smooth consistency.
- Reduce the pomegranate juice to a syrup.
- Arrange the potato pancakes on a platter and top with heaping
spoonfuls of guacamole.
- Drizzle pomegranate syrup over the guacamole and serve.
