Recipe of the Week
This recipe goes great with fresh applesauce. Make extra applesauce and freeze a few batches for the winter.
Potato Leek Pancakes
3 large potatoes, scrubbed and shredded (I leave the skins on for added nutrients)
2 to 3 leeks, white and light green parts, trimmed, cleaned, halved and sliced very thin
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper or to taste
1/4 cup vegetable oil
Put the shredded potatoes into a few paper towels. Wrap and squeeze all the water out of the potatoes. Combine in a large bowl with everything except the oil. Mix well.
Heat a griddle over medium high heat. Prepare the griddle with nonstick cooking spray. Add enough oil to just coat the pan.
Working in batches, place about 2 tablespoons of the potato mix onto the hot griddle. Flatten the pancake with the back of a spatula. Repeat. Add more oil as needed. Cook until bottom is golden, then flip. Repeat on second side.
Serve with applesauce. Makes 4 servings.
Nutrition information per serving: 350 calories, 15 g fat, 40 mg cholesterol, 330 mg sodium, 50 g carbohydrate, 7.5 g fiber, 7 g protein. Good source vitamin A and iron. Excellent source of vitamin C.
