Ingredients

  • 6 medium potatoes, grated
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1/4 c. bread crumbs
  • black pepper to taste
  • 2 Tbsp. canola oil
  • vegetable spray

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Mix grated potatoes and chopped onion in bowl.
  • Stir in egg whites and mix well.
  • Add bread crumbs and pepper and mix together.
  • Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  • Add 1/4 cup of mixture into skillet and flatten into a round rectangle.
  • Lightly brown pancakes on each side (if they are not cooked enough on the first side before turning they will fall apart).
  • Transfer to a baking sheet which has been sprayed with vegetable spray.
  • Bake pancakes stacked on each other for about 15 minutes.
  • Turn once and bake another 10 minutes.

  • Reduce baking time to 8 to 10 minutes on each side.
  • Makes 12 (2 pancake) servings.
