Parmesan Potato Pancakes

parm-potato-pancake-hl-1046859-l-400x400

Ingredients:

2 cups leftover mashed potatoes
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or green onions
1 large egg white
¼ cup seasoned breadcrumbs, divided
2 tablespoons grated fresh Parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons olive oil, divided

How to Prepare:

  1. Combine potatoes, chives, egg white, and 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs in a large bowl.
  2. Combine 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs and cheese on a small plate. Divide the potato mixture into 8 equal (1/4-cup) portions; dredge in breadcrumb mixture, shaping each portion into a 1/4-inch-thick patty.
  3. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in large nonstick skillet. Add 4 patties; cook 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden. Repeat with 1 teaspoon oil and remaining 4 patties. Serve pancakes hot with applesauce and low-fat sour cream.

This is best for people who have heart problems and also those who want to ensure that they live a life with healthy heart. With only 4 milligrams of cholesterol, this potato pancake packs a punch of flavor. Yes, healthy food need not be tasteless. And since we’re using olive oil, you are assured you are going to eat something healthy.  Olive oil is the second most healthy oil, just next to coconut oil, because it’s rich in monounsaturated fat. This is the healthier way to fry or sauté food.

And guess what? You only need 10 minutes to prepare it, and 12 to 16 to cook.
