These baked potato pancakes make a hearty, mid-winter main dish

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil , divided
  • 2 large russet potatoes , peeled
  • 1 large parsnip , peeled
  • 1/2 Spanish or vidalia onion , chopped
  • 100 g sliced ham , chopped
  • 1 egg , beaten
  • 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease 2 baking sheets with 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the oil. With a box grater or food processor, shred potatoes and parsnip, then set in a sieve over a bowl to drain for 10 minutes.
