Last weekend we went to a birthday party and brought along a plate of food to share.
I made potato pancakes with apple sauce.
Known to me as a Polish favourite, that I ate many times when I lived in the UK.
My version turned out to be an absolute hit, so I wanted to pass on the recipe I created, for you to make and enjoy too.
Potato
Pancakes
1
brown onion
4
largish potatoes
1/2t
turmeric
salt
and pepper to taste
1
organic egg
2T
besan (chickpea/chana/gram) flour
Ghee
for frying
METHOD
Peel
and finely grate onion and potatoes. Squeeze out excess moisture in a clean tea
towel (fun activity for little fingers).
Separately,
beat egg, turmeric and seasoning together.
Put
all in a large bowl and sprinkle the besan flour over contents.
Use
your hands to well mix everything together.
In
a frying pan, melt about 2T of ghee over a medium heat.
Place
heaped dessert spoonfuls of mix into the pan, around the edge. (I find the
centre always cooks too quickly). Press them flat with the spoon.
Cook
both sides of the pancake until golden brown. (My potato was cooked through in
the centre with a scrumptious crunchy edge).
Once
cooked, place onto a paper towel covered plate to drain off excess oil.
They
can be kept warm in a low temperature oven, covered with foil or a wet tea
towel.
I
served ours with Apple Sauce.
Simply
made by placing several peeled and sliced apples (which my boys were very happy to help with) into a saucepan, with 2T of
water. I covered this with it’s lid, over a low heat. Once cooked through, I
used the blender to puree them into a sauce.
