potato pancakes

 

Ingredients:

1 large russet potato (about 3/4 pounds), peeled and shredded

1 medium zucchini shredded (about 1 cup)

1/3 teaspoon salt

1 ½ Tablespoons egg

2 scallions, sliced

1 Tablespoon cornmeal

¼ teaspoon dried tarragon, crumbled

Salt and Pepper to taste

½ teaspoon olive oil

2 teaspoons plain Greek-style yogurt or unsweetened applesauce

Directions:

Toss the potatoes, zucchini, and salt in a medium bowl. Let stand 10 minutes. Squeeze out the liquids and discard. Stir in the egg, scallions, cornmeal, tarragon, and pepper.

Heat ¼ teaspoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Drop the potato mixture, 2 Tablespoons at a time, into mounds and flatten with a spatula. Cook until lightly browned, about 12 minutes, turning and adding another ¼ teaspoon oil after 6 minutes. Repeat with the remaining oil and the potato mixture. Top each pancake with ½ teaspoon of yogurt or applesauce.
