Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups shredded, unpeeled russet potatoes (about 1 lb)
- 1/2 cup grated onion
- 1/3 cup peeled, shredded carrot
- 1/3 cup flour
- 2 tablespoons snipped fresh chives
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 egg + 1 egg white
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
Preparation
Directions
- Scrub potatoes and coarsely grate. Immediately place in a bowl of ice water to keep potatoes from discoloring; let stand for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the onion, carrot, flour, chives, salt, pepper and eggs in a medium bowl and stir well.
- Drain the potatoes and squeeze out moisture; stir into egg mixture. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large non stick skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Spoon about 1/4 cup of potato mixture for each pancake into skillet, cooking 4 at a time. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, flattening with the back of a spatula and cooking until golden brown and crisp on both sides. Drain on paper towels.
- Repeat with remaining oil and potatoes.
- Serve immediately with chunky applesauce and low-fat sour cream.
