There’s nothing like good old fashioned potato pancakes as a side dish. It’s an awesome way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. You can serve these potato pancakes with meat patties, or simply enjoy them as breakfast.
May I take this opportunity to wish you all a very happy and blessed Christmas and success and health for the New Year 2012!
So wünsche ich Euch von Herzen ein frohes und gesegnetes Weihnachtsfest und viel Erfolg und Gesundheit für das Neue Jahr 2012!

- Thoroughly clean the potatoes and place them in a medium sized pot. Cover with cold water and bring to a boil. Add in about 1 teaspoon of salt. Cook, uncovered, until potatoes are tender all the way through, about 20 minutes.
- Drain potatoes and let cool slightly. Peel the potato and push potatoes through a ricer into a large bowl or mash with a large fork thoroughly. Add in spelt flour and baking powder, then add in whole egg and egg yolk. Gradually pour in milk, stirring well to make a smooth batter. Season the batter with salt and pepper.
- Place 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. When the butter turns a light amber, drop about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the batter in the skillet. You should be able to cook 3 pancakes at a time, allowing enough space between them so they have a nice round shape.
- Cook about 2 minutes on the first side, flip them over and cook about 1 minute longer. Remove from the pan, and keep warm. Continue adding butter to the pan and frying the rest of the batter. Serve the pancakes warm as a side with ground meat patties.

Merry Christmas A! Almost never use spelt in my pancakes but this recipe looks like a keeper. WIll give this a spin next weekend. Thanks for sharing.
I'm going to have to try these. We've never had potato pancakes with mashed, I usually just grate them. They look fantastic, I'll have to try the mashed now.
Happy holidays, Angie, to you and yours!
Wishing you a wonderful new year filled with your favorite things.
The pancakes look great.

Spelt is one of my favorite flours to work with. The pancakes sound like a wonderful treat for New Years. Wishing you all the best in 2012!
I completely agree; there's nothing like a good old-fashioned potato pancake! My grandparents make them from scratch and they're too die for. Yours look delicious!
Mmm, these look delicious. I love making potato pancakes out of leftover mashed potatoes. I love the spelt in these :)

This would be no side dish at my house! Destined for main course glory :) Looks delicious!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family! Beautiful pancakes. My Mom used to make potato cakes adding onion. I bet yours are delicious!
Wishing you a Happy Holiday Season. This recipe sounds so interesting - like the whole grain flour and potato combination.
You're right, such a wonderful side dish. I'd gobble these up in no time! Hope you had a lovely Christmas...and happy almost new year to you! :)
Wonderful pancakes and tempting pictures.
Angie, have a Blessed Christmas.
These pancakes look delicious, the pictures are perfect as always. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas
How simple. Looks lovely next to the meatballs !!
Wish you an awesome 2012 :)
I've never made savory pancakes before -- I don't know why!!! Need to remedy this soon :D
This looks so drool-worthy!!
Happy New Year, sweetie :)
I always think of pancakes as a breakfast item - it never occurred to me to make a side-dish style pancake! Brilliant! Thanks for sharing and new ideas!
Would love to have some pancakes for breakfast too, these looks so delicious! Happy New Year to you Angie:D
You are so right - who doesn't love a potato pancake? Especially this one. Reaching into cybersphere. Wishing you all good things for 2012!
In our household, we are huge pancake and waffle eaters. I have been wanting to buy spelt flour, every time I visit our Whole Foods Market, and I put it on my list to buy some on my next trip, and for sure I want to make these delicious, tasty, and hardy potato pancake. Love how your turned out, and it's not just for breakfast but for any/every meal. Yumm!
Angie, I would love to make broccoli rabe for you, or any other dishes if you come to visit! That's for sure:DDD
Looks absolutely wonderful! Hope you had a lovely Christmas. Wishing you a very Happy New Year :)
Happy Holidays to you, Angie! I wish you all the best in the coming new year!
These look amazing, I love pancakes like this. Have yourself a wonderful new year Angie! So good to get to know you, and enjoy all your amazing recipes!
These potato pancakes look so silky smooth and toasty, I would have never thought they were made with potatoes! These are definitely worth a try in the kitchen-yum!
Have a wonderful New Year and I look forward to seeing your posts in 2012!
Eine frohe Zeit zwischen den Festtagen wünsche ich dir! ;)
How great is that? I have never thought of making potato pancakes as a side dish! I'm not much of a fan of plain potatoes, so I'll keep this recipe in mind next time I'm making a 'served with potatoes'-kind of dish!
Cheers,
Tobias
This is timely as I just bought spelt flour for the first time! I need good ideas like this! So delicious and satisfying.
Delish, I know I could a huge pile of these pancakes. Happy Holidays!!
An amazing dish, and beautiful photos as always :) happy new year!
What's spelt flour? Don't think we have it here in Malaysia as I've not come across it. Can I substitute with wheat flour?
I just had spelt pasta for the first time recently and loved it :) These are fantastic!
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas, wishing you an amazing 2012 Angie!
Wow. What a recipe! I am definitely going to try these soon.
Los crepés lucen deliciosos.Angie te deseo un gran Año Nuevo lleno de bendiciones,abrazos hugs,hugs.
mmmmm talk about healthy pancakes. these look delicious and hearty
finally got myself spelt flour so that i can start baking all the goodies that you've been posting with spelt flour :) can't wait to start with this since it's so simple!
Happy New Year, Angie. I have never cooked with spelt flour. I guess, I should try it. Love those pancakes.
Great way to pair those pancakes with meat balls/patties :)
I don't recall if I tried making savory pancakes with potatoes, this does sound like a great idea with meatballs.
Happy Holidays, Angie!
Haven't tried to make meal in this combination but I love to cook potato pancakes.
But let's give a try for your recommendation as you can't go wrong with potato and grain spelt
So simple and so perfect! Yammy! Thanks for sharing!
this look so good... love the combination with meat patties and the addition of spelt.
These pancakes look great and I like the combination of potato with the spelt flour.
