Ingredients & Substitutions
Russet potatoes work great here for their starchiness, but feel free to experiment with other types like Yukon Golds. If you're gluten-free, you can swap the whole wheat flour for a gluten-free blend or almond flour.
Tips & Notes
- •I love adding a pinch of smoked paprika for a little extra flavor. It gives the pancakes a nice kick!
- •You can prep the mixture ahead of time and store it in the fridge for a day – just give it a good stir before cooking.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I toss in some grated zucchini for added moisture and nutrition.
- •If you’re feeling adventurous, try adding spices like cumin or coriander for an international twist!
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just reheat in the oven or on a skillet to crisp them back up!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze these pancakes?
Absolutely! I like to freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a bag. Just pop them in the toaster when you're ready to enjoy.

Once the flax egg is ready, stir it into the potato mixture until everything is well combined.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with olive oil.
