Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber without losing texture.

Peel and grate the potatoes using a box grater or food processor.

Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.

Finely chop the onion and add it to the grated potatoes.

In a mixing bowl, combine grated potatoes, onion, eggs, flour, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg until well mixed.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Scoop a portion of the potato mixture into the skillet, flattening it into a pancake shape.

Cook until golden brown on one side, about 3-4 minutes, then flip and cook the other side until golden, another 3-4 minutes.

Transfer the cooked pancakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Repeat with the remaining potato mixture, adding more oil as needed.

Serve hot with sour cream and applesauce on the side.
