For sweet pancakes, grate two carrots and one zucchini, and add a tablespoon of grated onion and the rest of the grated potatoes.

Whisk together two eggs for the savory pancakes and one egg for the sweet pancakes.

Add a big tablespoon of flour and a pinch of salt to each mixture.

Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until crunchy, then flip and cook until golden brown.

Serve the sweet pancakes with sour cream and maple syrup, and the savory pancakes with sour cream and hot sauce, garnished with chives.
