I had about one cup of leftover riced potatoes from making Gluten Free Dairy-Free Blueberry Rolls. So, I used them up by making these easy gluten free potato pancakes. You can serve them as a side with dinner, with dinner, with soup for lunch, or for breakfast. Enjoy!
Stretching Meals
Last night we had individual pizzas. My husband ate three-quarters of his and I ate only half of mine. So, I slice won’t cut it for him for dinner tonight. So, I plan to use these gluten free potato pancakes as an addition to a slice of pizza alongside some leftover KFC-Style Coleslaw. They’re quite filling. I ate two with some coleslaw for lunch.
Gluten Free Potato Pancakes
Using simple ingredients, you can make these delicious gluten free potato pancakes. Check out the variations as well.
Ingredients
- 1 large egg (See Tips for egg-free)
- 1 cup riced (or plain, mashed) potatoes
- 1 tablespoon brown rice flour (optional*)
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Butter, dairy-free margarine (Smart Balance) and/or ketchup
Instructions
-
Beat the egg in a small cereal bowl. Add the potatoes and using a fork, beat to combine.
-
Add the rice flour and stir. Add additional rice flour, as necessary, until you the mixture is similar in consistency to pancake batter. (I didn't have to add any additional.)
-
Preheat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Lower heat to medium and pour 2 tablespoonsful of batter into the skillet in about 5 portions. Fry 2 minutes on each side. Serve immediately topped with butter or dairy-free margarine (Smart Balance). Serve with ketchup if desired.
Tips
*When I make this with mashed potatoes, I don’t find that I need to add any flour, but riced potatoes leave the egg just floating around with nothing to attach itself to. The rice flour absorbs the egg.
Egg-Free:
Replace one egg with enough water and neutral-flavored protein powder (like pea protein, which is gassy like eggs) to make 3 tablespoons (or 2 tablespoons liquid from a can of white beans + 1 tablespoon butter or full-fat coconut milk.) Another alternative is flax egg (water and golden flax seed meal.
Variations:
Add shredded cheese, sauteed onion, and more!
