These potato pancakes are a delicious and simple way to serve a filling meal on a budget! This version makes use of seasonal Brussel sprouts, but almost any vegetable would work, in combination with potatoes. Some of our favorites are zucchini, carrots, sweet potatoes or beets.

Equipment

  • Large saute pan or griddle 

Ingredients

  • 3 cups shredded Brussel sprouts*
  • 3 cups shredded potatoes*
  • 8 large eggs, divided (2 for pancakes, 6 for serving)
  • 1/4 cup onion
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 tbsp taco seasoning or preferred spice blend
  • 1/4 cup parsley, thyme, or preferred herb ( or 1 Tablespoon dried herb)
  • oil
  • salt
  • pepper

Instructions

  • Use a box grater to shred Brussel sprouts and potatoes OR use a knife to slice potatoes and Brussel sprouts as thinly as possible. Cut vegetable in half to get a flat edge, and then slowly slice lengthwise. If pieces are too big, continue to mince into smaller pieces. (Another option is to boil the potatoes until soft, mash with a fork or masher, and follow directions using mashed instead of shredded.) Finely dice onion and herbs.
  • Heat large saute pan or griddle over medium heat. Lightly oil pan. Mix Brusselsprouts, potatoes, 2 eggs, flour, seasoning blend, onion, and herbs in a large bowl, seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Scoop pancake batter with a large spoon onto heated pan. Press pancake down with back of spatula to flatten. Cook 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown. Sprinkle with salt and pepper while still warm.
  • Remove cooked pancakes from pan and cover with foil to keep warm. Continue cooking pancakes using all batter. Once done with pancakes, wipe out pan and re-oil. Fry eggs to serve on top of pancakes. Enjoy!
