Prep: 20 min. •  Cook: 15 min. •  Serves: 4

Ingredients:

• 2 ½ c. (about 1 lb.) Biggins® potatoes, scrubbed
• ½ c. grated onion
• ⅓ c. peeled shredded carrot
• ⅓ c. flour
• 2 tbsp. snipped fresh chives
• 1 tsp. kosher salt
• ¼ tsp. freshly ground pepper
• 1 egg + 1 egg white
• 2 tbsp. vegetable oil, divided

Directions:

Coarsely grate potatoes. Immediately place in a bowl of ice water to keep potatoes from discoloring; let stand for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, place the onion, carrot, flour, chives, salt, pepper and eggs in a medium bowl and stir well. Drain the potatoes and squeeze out moisture; stir into egg mixture. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large non stick skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Spoon about ¼ cup of potato mixture for each pancake into skillet, cooking 4 at a time. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, flattening with the back of a spatula and cooking until golden brown and crisp on both sides. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining oil and potatoes. Serve immediately with chunky applesauce and low-fat sour cream.
