Healthy Potato Pancakes

(12 servings)

  • 1 26-ounce bag frozen shredded potatoes -- thawed overnight
  • 2 Tablespoons flour
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon thyme
  • 1 carton Egg Beaters or 4 beaten egg whites
  • 4 Tablespoons corn oil
  • 3 green onions -- finely chopped
Thoroughly mix all ingredients in a large bowl. Spoon mixture onto hot griddle and spread into 1/2-inch-thick pancakes.

Cook about 8 minutes each side or until pancakes are browned and crispy. Pancakes can be lightly cooked and held in a warm oven, then returned to the hot griddle and finished later.

Serve with apple sauce and non-fat sour cream on the side. Makes 12 pancakes.


A modern version of an old favorite! The cool applesauce and sour cream mellow the bite of the pepper and onion.
