BREAKFAST: Low Carb Hybrid Potato Latke/Pancake

I wanted to create a relatively healthy version of a latke and potato pancake: thinner, fewer potatoes, not as much flour, and a whole lot less oil.  Given that I have never made a latke, trying to create a hybrid version of one was maybe a bit aggressive; lucky for me the recipe below worked like a charm.

Servings: 2

Ingredients:

• 3-4 fingerling potatoes, chopped into narrow strips
• 1/2 onion, chopped thinly (chop in a way where you utilize the strips you already get from an onion)
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 2 eggs
• 1/2-3/4 cup whole wheat flour (try the whole wheat white flour at Trader Joe's)

Instructions:

• Beat eggs, add in pepper and salt
• Mix onions and potatoes in a medium sized bowl, add in egg mixture and mix
• Add in flour to the onion and potato mixture - start with a 1/4 cup at a time - mix
• Heat 1 tbsp of oil on a stainless steel skillet
• Spoon in 3/4 tbsp of the mixture (more depending on how large your want your latke/craque)
• Immediately flatten on pan
• Let each side cook for about 2 - 2.5 minutes on medium heat
• Serve and enjoy! Don't forget to top with your favorite sauces or creams (my favorite is Cholula, but sour cream seems to be popular as well)
