When you have some leftover vegetables in the fridge, but not enough of each to make a full dish, try making potato vegetable pancakes! These pancakes are light, non-greasy, and have a crisp, refreshing texture with the sweetness of fresh veggies. Enjoy them on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce. Let’s get started!
Ingredients for Potato Vegetable Pancakes
- 2 green onions (about 9g)
- 160g potatoes
- 50g carrots
- 110g cabbage
- 2 eggs
- 5 tbsp flour
- A dash of black pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Oil for frying
Preparation
1. Chop the green onions into small pieces and set aside.
2. Peel the potatoes and carrots. Using a shredding tool, grate both vegetables. Choose the smallest shred size to ensure even cooking and a uniform texture.
3. Remove the hard core from the cabbage, then thinly slice it. The cabbage can be slightly thicker than the carrots and potatoes, as it cooks faster.
4. Place all vegetables in a large bowl, add salt and black pepper, and mix well. Let it sit for 10 minutes, then drain any excess water that comes out.
5. Add the chopped green onions, flour, and eggs to the vegetable mixture. Stir with chopsticks until everything is well combined.
How to Cook Potato Vegetable Pancakes
I used a non-stick frying pan to cook these potato vegetable pancakes.
Step 1. Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat. Lightly oil the pan or spray a thin layer of oil.
Step 2. Use chopsticks to pick up a portion of the vegetable mixture, then place it in the pan and press gently to flatten. Stir the vegetable mixture before each scoop to prevent the flour and egg from settling at the bottom. Repeat until the pan is full; a medium pan can usually hold about 4 pancakes at a time.
Step 3. Let the pancakes cook without moving them for about 1 minute. Gently shake the pan to see if the pancakes slide around—this means they’re ready to flip. Cook both sides until golden brown, and the vegetables have softened.
Step 4. Once both sides are golden, remove from the pan. Let the pancakes cool slightly and enjoy while warm for the best texture!
