Dinner – Car Camping – Smoked Salmon & German Potato Pancakes

Ingredients:
4-5 small/medium potatoes per person (we prefer white potatoes)
1 small onion
1 or 2 eggs (depending on amount of potatoes used)
A handful of gluten-free oats
Salt
Oil for frying

Toppings:
Smoked salmon
Sour cream
Apple sauce

This dish is a little bit time consuming, but we love it, so we don’t mind. First, grate the potatoes (for 2 people we usually use about 8 or 9 medium size potatoes). We usually grate them pretty small, because then it is easier to fry them (they won’t fall apart). Once grated, drain off the excess liquid. Mix in 1 small onion (also grated small) and 1-2 lightly beaten eggs (we usually use 2 eggs for 2 people), some salt and a handful of GF oats. You can also add some grated carrots, if desired. Heat some oil in a frying pan and add about ¼ cup of the mix for each potato pancake. Fry them like you would regular pancakes, flipping them once after they start to turn golden brown. They are best when they are fresh out of the frying pan. We love to top them with smoked salmon and sour cream and/or apple sauce. Kids love them, too!

  1. This isn't a gluten free recipe... Oats contain Avenin, which is a gluten protein. See link below for information.
