I make potato pancakes, also called latkes, but when I saw these hash browns, cooked in pancake form, I had to make them. My reason for this is that they have corn meal in them. I have been making latkes for many years and I have never put corn meal in them and I had to find out, if it would make a difference. Actually, I make my latkes with nothing other than potatoes, eggs and onion. No flour, no seasonings other than black pepper, nothing to mar the flavor of the potatoes. Now, I am perfectly willing to add corn meal in the future. It gives them that something extra.
Weekend Hash Browns (adapted)
Ingredients:
3 medium russet potatoes
1/4 cup gluten-free flour
1/4 cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoon diced onion
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large egg
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
small amount of olive oil for frying
Method:
Shred potatoes and onions in a food processor for speed. Otherwise, use your hand shredder and have fun. I go for the economy of time.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk egg and oil. Add to potato mixture.
Sift together GF flour, cornmeal, salt, and garlic powder. Stir into potato egg mixture.
In
a large non stick skillet, coated with a small amount of oil, drop by
tablespoonfuls into pan over medium-high heat. Flatten patty some and
cook until crisp and browned on bottom. Flip patty and cook until well
browned.

Great idea adding the corm meal to the latkes. I would have never thought of using it.

Hi and thanks once again for hosting- Enjoy the week ahead! Rebecca @ Natural Mothers Network ( Seasonal Celebration Sunday) x
ReplyDeleteThat looks great! Who doesn't like hash browns? I'm linking up an old recipe (the first one I ever posted, actually) because my featured recipe this week has meat.
ReplyDeleteStop by and check out my cheap recipes and link up your money-saving recipes to Frugal Food Thursday. And I've linked your recipe to StumbleUpon!
I really like the idea of adding cornmeal to hash browns/latkes, both for the texture and the flavour. Thank you for sharing another great recipe and for hosting! Love the features too!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Hash Browns! I've never heard of adding cornmeal either. Will have to try it! Thanks for hosting this week. I brought a delicious Glazed and Grilled Salmon dish over Broccoli-Rice. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThose hashbrowns look so good! I've shared a meal-sized salad with Quinoa, beets, bocconcini and a honey-dijon dressing. Thanks for hosting!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting this each week. I love to check out to see what everyone has posted:)
ReplyDeleteHey Chaya, thanks for hosting! I haven't had hashbrowns in a while, but not you're making me think about them again :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
Everything looks wonderful! I brought some blueberry banana oat bars that my family loves: http://realfoodrealdeals.com/2012/04/06/chewy-blueberry-banana-oat-bars/
ReplyDeleteI adore homemade hash browns - yours look delicious!
ReplyDeleteHash browns and I get along great--I'm interested to try them with cornmeal to find out how that changes the texture. Thank you for hosting. I linked up a melon berry salad with a wonderful lemon & thyme syrup (I'm in love with this syrup).
ReplyDeleteI have tried something similar ( cheddar rounds?) but I'm just having a really difficult time finding a good egg substitute. Nothing else seems to hold the ingredients together like 'egg', so I'm struggling :( Eventually, I'll come across something that works LOL. Until then, I'll just have to marvel at your photo and imagine how wonderful they taste ☺
ReplyDeleteI wanted to thank you for joining in on our recipe hop. I shared a Gluten, dairy, and egg free Brownie recipe using simple substitutions.
I can't wait to try these, we love potatoes at our house. Thanks so much for sharing at Mix it up Monday :)
ReplyDeleteI've never made latkes or hash browns, but these look great! For some reason, I always thought it would be hard to do, but you make it look easy :-)
ReplyDeleteStopped by from Inspire Me Monday :-)
