How to Make Idaho Potato Pancakes Roasted Corn Poblano Peppers

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut 2 ears of corn off the cob. In a large oven-safe skillet, toss corn with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until kernels are tender and slightly caramelized.
  2. While corn roasts, dice 1 poblano pepper (remove seeds and membranes for less heat).
  3. Add diced poblano pepper to the skillet with the corn during the last 5 minutes of roasting.
  4. While the corn and pepper roast, peel and boil 2 pounds of Idaho potatoes until tender (about 15-20 minutes). Drain very well.
  5. In a food processor, combine the drained potatoes, 2 large egg yolks, 2 tablespoons melted butter, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon white pepper, and 1/4 cup milk. Process until smooth and creamy.
  6. Stir in the roasted corn and pepper mixture and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro.
  7. Refrigerate the potato mixture for at least 1 hour to firm up.
  8. Shape the chilled potato mixture into 6-8 patties.
  9. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the potato pancakes for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  10. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings!
