Paragon
Paragon... accent on the first "O". Although of the correct spelling of this word I'm not sure. But in my family it is cooked not the first generation. It is difficult to determine, the cuisine of which country applies this dish. As always cooks dad, splashing in whose veins the pure blood of the Aryan, we can assume that the dish is still German. An Internet search did not give results, no matter what the variants of this word I haven't scored in a row:-D Paragon you can fry and boil. This here is a versatile dish:-) Usually I see Paragon only in finished form, but this time I followed the whole process of cooking. However today I cooked mom:-)

Ingredients

  • Chicken egg

    1 piece

  • Cheese

    300 g

  • Potatoes

    2.5 kg

  • Salt

Cooking

step-0
So, the potatoes peeled.
step-1
RUB on a small (!) grater. Please be patient, as the process is quite tedious.
step-2
Take clean gauze and vystelim it in a single layer deep Cup. Put the grated potatoes in cheesecloth and hung for 10 minutes to stack the juice. You can't hang, and with gauze to put the potato mixture in a colander and put the colander over the Cup. Stecchi juice is NOT poured, and keeping in the Cup.
step-3
Well so here, while our potatoes, drain the juice, take the cheese. Generally, the more toppings-the cheese, the better. Cheese salt and break an egg into it. Mix well.
step-4
So, by this point the potato mass advisees. Put it in an empty Cup. And a container of potato juice gently drain off. At the bottom we find a layer of potato starch. Collect it in a spoon.
step-5
Half of the starch is added to the potato mass. Podsalvage her. Stir.
step-6
Put on the fire a pot of water (about 2.5 liters of water). When the water heats up, add it to the remaining half of extracted starch. Once above the water will appear this froth, we begin to sculpt our Paragon.
step-7
Do potato flapjack, it curd, top with the potato flapjack smaller, select the edges align. Although I can sculpt as you wish:-) we lower our potato "pie" in boiling water. To start swimming send one thing and before you know it – if it doesn't collapse, then everything is OK, and you can run the rest. If Paragon collapsed, then dissolved in this boiling water some dry potato starch. If you have not mastered welded Paragon immediately, then store them it is necessary in the thickened water, in which they were boiled.
step-8
However, you can just fry Paragon. Such a La pancakes:-) And I must say, I just love them fried! Pour sour cream – pompouse! And enjoy:-) Bon appetit!
