Confetti Veggie Pancakes, from ... a photocopy
Makes 16; prep 20 min; cook 20 min
1 large baking potato, peeled and shredded
2 carrots, peeled and shredded
1 zucchini, shredded
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 large egg plus 1 large egg white
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Salt and pepper
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup shredded sharp white cheddar
1. In a large bowl, cover the shredded potato with cold water and stir to rinse; drain and transfer to a towel-covered work surface. Cover with another towel and roll up to remove excess moisture; rinse and dry the bowl. Squeeze the carrots and zucchini in another towel to remove excess moisture. In the bowl, combine the potato, carrots, zucchini, onion, egg and egg white, flour, cornstarch, baking soda, 3/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper.
2. Heat a large skillet for 1 minute over medium-high heat. Add 1 tbsp olive oil and swirl to coat. Working in batches, and using the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil when necessary, spoon 1/4 cupfuls of the veggie mixture into the pan and flatten into 3-inch pancakes. Fry until golden underneath, about 3 minutes. Flip, sprinkle a bit of cheese on top of each and cook for about 2 minutes more; transfer to a plate.
