Potato Carrot Pancakes:
A great side dish!
Do you ever have leftover mashed potatoes? Sure you do!
This Silver & Gold recipe is a great addition to our "side dish" recipes and goes well with many of your meals. Just imagine that Sunday brunch: Wouldn't these potato carrot pancakes be delicious with a slice or two of caramelized bacon on top?


Ingredients:
-
4 cups of leftover mashed potatoes (or you can make them fresh, however they need to be cooled before mixing with other ingredients)
-
2 large carrots - peeled and diced quite small, steamed for 5 minutes until softened
-
2 eggs
-
2 Tbsp. flour (we used gluten-free flour)
-
1/4 Cup parmesan or romano cheese, grated
-
1 Tbsp. salt
-
1/2 Tbsp. pepper
-
oil for frying
How to:
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients (again, making sure the mashed potatoes are cooled, otherwise the cheese may melt and flavours change)
Heat a large frying pan over medium heat, and add 2 Tbsp. oil. Once heated, add potato mixture by 2 Tbsp. dollops and flatten using a fork.
Cook pancakes in batches, adding more oil if necessary to ensure they don't stick to the pan.
Cook until golden brown, approximately 3 minutes per side. Once ready, the should feel like pancake consistency - slightly 'springy' yet soft.
Once cooked on both sides, set aside on a cooling rack with paper towel underneath. Serve as a side dish or enjoy on their own with a touch of Mexican salsa - delicious!
