Weight Watchers German Potato Pancakes

Ingredients:

• 4 cups peeled and shredded russet potatoes (about 4 medium-sized potatoes)
• 1 small onion, grated
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• Cooking spray (or a small amount of oil for frying)

Instructions:

1. Place the shredded potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out any excess moisture.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded potatoes, grated onion, beaten eggs, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
3. Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. If you’re using oil for frying, add a small amount to coat the surface.
4. Drop spoonfuls of the potato mixture onto the hot skillet, spreading them out into thin pancakes.
5. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the pancakes are golden brown and crispy.
6. Remove the pancakes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
7. Repeat the process until all the potato mixture is used.
8. Serve the German Potato Pancakes hot, and optionally, with a dollop of non-fat Greek yogurt or applesauce.
