Oven Baked Potato Pancakes

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons whole wheat flour (or all-purpose flour)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 large russet potatoes (or 1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes)
• 1 small onion, peeled
• 1 large egg
• Applesauce and plain low-fat or Greek yogurt, for serving (optional)

Method

1. 1 Preheat oven to 425°F. Lightly oil a baking sheet with olive oil.
2. 2 Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl.
3. 3 Grate potatoes and onion using large holes. Place in a colander and press with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
4. 4 In a large bowl, combine potato mixture, egg, and flour mixture. Stir well.
5. 5 Spoon mixture onto baking sheet, forming 3-inch flat nests. Bake 15-20 minutes until golden, then flip and bake 10 more minutes.
6. 6 Serve hot with applesauce and yogurt on the side.
