Today I have a really tasty recipe for you. These potato pancakes are flavoured with rosemary and are served with good-for-you fermented foods sauerkraut and sour cream. This recipe was inspired by Naturopath Helen Padarin. Helen advocates eating fermented veggies for good health. She even wrote a guest post here at healthfoodlover.com, all about fermented foods and how you can make your own, (so make sure to have a good read of her post)! To find out more about Helen and the work she does visit her website Nourish-ed and the Nourish-ed Facebook Page.

I hope you enjoy my recipe and get inspired to make some fermented veggies!

Rosemary Potato Pancakes with Sour Cream and Sauerkraut

Serves: 3 (3 pancakes each)

Ingredients:

  • 3 potatoes (I used Nicola potatoes), washed and grated
  • a spring of fresh rosemary, chopped finely
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • flour (almond, buckwheat, spelt and wholemeal flour work well)
  • coconut oil, to cook with

to serve: sauerkraut and sour cream

How to:

  1. Wash your potatoes to remove any excess dirt. Peel and then grate the potato into shreds. Squeeze the potatoes over a sink to remove excess water. Place the shredded and dried potatoes in a bowl and stir in the rosemary, salt and pepper.
  2. Stir in the beaten whole egg.
  3. Add enough flour so you can form pancakes with the potatoes (I used around ~3 tablespoons- it all depends on how much moisture is in the potatoes, the more moisture you need, the more flour you will need).
  4. Heat the oil in the pan. Form flat pancakes and cook in the oil till crispy and cooked inside (test just by trying one- if the potato tastes cooked in the middle- it’s done!).
  5. Serve with sauerkraut and sour cream.

This looks like a great take on latkes/potato pancakes. I’m interested in seeing how the almond and buckwheat work in terms of taste and holding the works together. I only see a positive outcome in such an adventure.

Michelle! So glad you could stop by Hearth and Soul. Now this is my kind of pancake. I don’t have much of a sweet tooth, but you can tempt me with potatoes and kraut any day!

I happened upon your blog, quite by accident when I was searching the wordpress forums for help to find out how to upload my own header for my blog. I saw your little logo and went to check out your site and NOW I CAN’T LEAVE! I love your site! And those potato pancakes are kind of making my mouth water! Great job on the blog! It looks like you figured things out, huh?

I really must try this. I have a hard time getting my husband to eat fermented foods, but I think he would like the flavor of these with sauerkraut.
