Baby Potato Cakes With Smoked Salmon

  • 5  baking potatoes (peeled and cut lengthwise)
  • 1  onion (peeled)
  • 1 tablespoon organic flour
  • 2  egg whites
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • pinch black pepper
  • olive oil or canola cooking spray
  • 1/4 cup fresh chives (snipped)
  • 1/2 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 pound smoked salmon

Work quickly so that peeled potatoes do not turn dark.
1.    Either grate potatoes and onion in a food processor or by hand.
2.    Place in a bowl and add egg whites, flour, baking powder, sea salt and pepper. Mix well.
3.    Spray a griddle or a large sauté pan with cooking spray. (If using a pan, keep the flame low.)
4.    Add mix as you would for pancakes. Make them the size of a silver dollar.
5.    Let the cake become golden on one side and then flip over. Place on a cookie sheet sprayed with cooking spray.
6.    Finish pancakes in a 350 degree oven, cooking about 20 minutes. (These can be frozen, thawed and heated when ready to use.)
7.    Serve with a dapple of nonfat Greek yogurt or soy sour cream, a sprinkle of fresh chives and a strip of smoked salmon.
