Ingredients
- 2 cups potatoes mashed, cold
- 1 egg large
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- ¼ cup almond flour
- 1 garlic minced, clove
- ½ onion finely diced, medium
- 2 tablespoons chives plus extra for garnish, fresh, chopped
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- sour cream optional, for garnish
- herbs optional, for garnish
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add the mashed potatoes, egg, parmesan cheese, almond flour, garlic, onion, chives, salt, and pepper. Stir together until well combined.
- Scoop a ¼ of the mixture and form into a pancake with your hands. Then place on a plate. Repeat this process until all the potato mixture is used up.
- In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Drop several potato pancake into the skillet and cook for 3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Repeat with remaining potato mixture and more oil, if needed.
- Serve immediately. If you'd like, add a dollop of sour cream and an extra sprinkle of chives.

Notes
- I recommend using a seasoned cast-iron pan or non-stick pan for this recipe. It'll make it easier to flip the potato pancakes! This is the pan I'm using in the photos.
