Making Healthy Potato Pancakes!

By Ben Panny


Potato pancakes are usually shallow-fried pancakes made of crushed, grated or shredded potatoes, flour, and egg. They are mostly drizzled with salt, and even flavored with well sliced onion and/or garlic. Compared with any other pancakes made up purely of flour, eggs and butter, potato pancakes are certainly a healthier pancake variety. Eating them may supply people beneficial amounts of vitamin C, vitamin B6, potassium, manganese as well as fiber from potatoes by themselves. If you want, you could modify the basic recipe for potato pancake to a completely much healthier recipe merely by switching ingredients. You may substitute fiber-rich whole wheat flour instead of the plain white flour. You could as well include eggs and a lot more of your preferred healthy ingredients just like celery, garlic, onions, sweet corn and much more. You could also bake them as an alternative to frying if you wish to eradicate the oil.

Potato pancakes certainly are a classic dish amid various countries in Europe, like Switzerland, Poland as well as Germany. They are also associated with common cuisines of Ukraine, Russia, Sweden as well as Luxembourg. Potato hotcakes are branded with some names. They are termed "Rosti" in Swiss cuisine and "latkes" for Jewish.

Potato pancakes can be served both as a main dish or maybe a side dish. Regardless, they're able to satiate you! Potato pancakes can be eaten along with a wide range of toppings, which includes the savory condiments: sour cream and cottage cheese, and the sweet versions: apple sauce, lingonberry jam, cranberry sauce, or simply with sugar. They even taste good when in plain!

Ingredients:

1 cup Water, 3/4 cup, Dairy Free Cooking Cream or Non Dairy Milk, 1 pinch of Salt, 1 cup Plain Flour, two tsp Baking Powder, 1/4 cup melted Dairy Free Margarine or plain cooking oil, 1 cup Mashed potatoes (utilizing day old leftover mashed potatoes works great),

How to Make:

Inside a big mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients together. While whisking, blend in wet ingredients. Be sure to add the melted margarine after it has cooled down.
