About

There is a potato pancake in nearly every culture. These nutrient-dense purple powerhouses make an excellent breakfast food, but could accompany any meal of the day, and certainly brighten up a fall or winter holiday party. The recipe can be made sweet or spicy, fruity or smoky, by increasing or decreasing some of the seasonings. You should also feel free to experiment with other seasonings and toppings.
