Olive oil provides healthier fats.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

eggs

🥗Healthier: flaxseed meal

💰Cheaper: aquafaba

Flaxseed meal is a great egg substitute for binding.

Grate 4 russet potatoes and place them in a thin towel to squeeze out excess moisture.

In a bowl, combine 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/8 teaspoon of kosher salt.

Add the grated potatoes and 1 cup of leftover mashed potatoes to the flour mixture and combine.

Pour in 3/4 cup of heavy cream and 3/4 cup of milk, mixing until you achieve a thick, chunky batter.

Heat a skillet on low heat (about 3 on the dial).

Ladle the batter into the skillet, cooking until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Serve with sour cream and fresh chopped chives, or with strawberry jam and sugar for a sweet option.
