The Ultimate Savory Eggplant Potato Pancake Recipe

As an avid lover of breakfast foods, I am always looking for new and unique recipes to add to my morning routine. One day, while perusing a farmers market, I came across some gorgeous eggplants and immediately knew I wanted to incorporate them into my next breakfast dish. After some experimentation in the kitchen, I created the ultimate savory eggplant potato pancake recipe that quickly became a household favorite. Here's how to make it:

Ingredients

• 1 large eggplant, diced
• 2 medium sized potatoes, grated
• 1 small onion, diced
• 3 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon of cumin
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Olive oil for frying

Instructions

1. Begin by placing the diced eggplant in a colander and sprinkling salt over the top. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to draw out any excess liquid.
2. In a medium sized bowl, combine the grated potatoes, diced onion, minced garlic, and cumin. Mix well.
3. Using a clean kitchen towel, squeeze out any remaining liquid from the eggplant and add it to the potato mixture.
4. Add the flour and eggs to the mixture and mix until well combined.
5. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add enough olive oil to cover the bottom of the pan.
6. Scoop about 1/4 cup of the mixture into the hot skillet, flattening it out with a spatula to form a pancake shape.
7. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
8. Remove from heat and place on a paper towel lined plate to soak up any excess oil.
9. Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce, such as sour cream or marinara sauce.

These eggplant potato pancakes are the perfect combination of crispy and savory, making them the ideal addition to any breakfast or brunch spread. They also make for a quick and filling lunch or dinner option. I love to top mine with a dollop of Greek yogurt and some chopped chives for an extra burst of flavor. Give this recipe a try and I promise you won't be disappointed!
