Early Morning Pancakes
Early Morning Pancakes are savory potato patties with fresh herbs, baked to a golden crust, perfect for a hearty breakfast or brunch option. They suit all palates.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mash the steamed potatoes until smooth and incorporate the soy or cashew milk, onion powder, salt, and chopped parsley to form a moist mixture.
- Shape the potato mixture into patties and place them on a well-oiled baking sheet.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20 to 40 minutes, turning once, until they develop a brown crust.
- Serve the potato pancakes garnished with fresh parsley and tomatoes, complemented by tofu if desired.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, try using cashew milk instead of soy milk. If you're short on time, pre-cooked frozen potatoes can be a convenient substitute. Adding spices like smoked paprika or garlic powder can elevate the flavor. Make sure to keep the patties evenly sized for consistent cooking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the potato pancakes hot, garnished with fresh parsley and sliced tomatoes for a refreshing touch. They pair beautifully with tofu for added protein. For a complete meal, consider serving alongside a side salad or a dollop of persimmon jam with pineapple for a sweet contrast.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover potato pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until heated through, which will help maintain their crispiness.
