Food Watch: Potato Pancake Recipe

Potato pancakes are a favorite of my son, so I make them often. We almost always have what we need: Potatoes, onion, flour, egg, salt, and pepper.

Potato Pancakes

2T olive oil
1 large potato
1/3 onion (any onion)
3T flour (use either white or whole wheat)
1 egg
salt and pepper to taste

Optional:
shredded cheese
sour cream
cheese sauce
jalapeno

Cut potato into smaller pieces. Put top 4 ingredients into the food processor. Pulse until it's it is shredded/diced.

Put 2T oil in pan and heat. Pour potato mixture into pan like a pancake. Fry to desired darkness on one side, flip, and fry to desired darkness on the other side. Salt and pepper to taste.

Variations: You can be very creative with these. Top them with any style of shredded cheese or sour cream. You can also put in diced jalapeno for a kick, or a put on top a medium cheese sauce or salsa.
