Potato Pancakes

Category : Food & Beverages, Recipes

The other night for dinner we had potato pancakes.  I hadn’t made them in forever.  I don’t really eat eggs anymore but I had some from a farmer at the market who has very happy chickens that don’t live in nasty cages so I used one of those.  I added a twist to the traditional potato pancakes that I love and added shredded carrots!

I had made a huge batch of mashed potatoes and needed to use them up so I added an egg, shredded carrots and chopped onions, mixed it together and made patties and put them on the griddle.  Brown them – more than you see here – they were half way done – and serve.  I had sliced avocados on the side and it was a lovely dinner.
