Potato Crepes

Here's a recipe that looks elegant enough for "Gourmet". I'm posting it here in "Cooking" as well. I'd call it "California Cuisine" as it uses non-Oriental ingredients with both Chinese and European cooking techniques. The potato crepes are fancy potato pancakes while the seafood is prepared by poaching in low temperature oil, then stir-fryinga Chinese technique. The author, Jay Harlow, says: "This cooking method, in which the seafood is cooked first by a kind of low temperature deep-frying, is a typical Chinese technique. It may appear to use a lot of oil, but most of it is drained away and can be reused for other frying. The over all amount of oil remaining in the dish is no more than with other stir-fried dishes."
