KIDNEY-FRIENDLY GARLIC POTATO PANCAKES



Kidney-Friendly Garlic Potato Pancakes image

This is a recipe for potato pancakes, made specifically from Idado Spuds instant mashed potatoes, which are low in "big four" numbers (protein, sodium, potassium, and phosphorus) I was able to form 4 good-sized pancakes from two servings of instant mashed potatoes, and they actually taste good! When fried, the cheese creates a golden, crispy crust on the outside. Cooking time will vary according to person preference of crispness desired. While this recipe does contain cheese, it does not contain milk, flour, or eggs, (and are also gluten-free!) which is the reason why this recipe is low in the "big four." Idaho Spuds contain 4% potassium per 1/3 C serving. Sargento Ulra-Thin Swiss cheese contains 3G of protein per slice, 2g in the potatoes, in 1.5g in the Parmesan cheese (about 4g per serving) The 1/4 cup of onion and garlic contain 129 mg of potassium (about 65 mg per serving) and 28 mg of phosphorus (about 14 mg per serving). Food.com estimates about 4% sodium per serving.

Time 45m

Yield 4 Pancakes, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2/3 cup idaho spuds instant mashed potatoes
one large garlic clove
1 teaspoon grated parmesan cheese
1 slice sargento ultra thin sliced swiss cheese
1/4 cup chopped white onion
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons oil
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup water

Steps:

  • In a non-stick saucepan, melt the unsalted butter on medium-low heat. Once completely melted, add the salt, garlic, and onion and sauté them until the onions start to turn clear, or about 5 minutes.
  • Add the water and pepper and increase the heat a little so that it boils. Once boiling, turn off the heat. Add the mashed potatos and stir well. They should have a creamy consistency and no visible "lumps", except for the onions. Extra water may be added, in small amounts (think tbsp) at a time if needed.
  • Add the Parmesan cheese and stir well, followed by the Swiss cheese. It helps to tear the Swiss cheese into smaller pieces, first. Stir until the Swiss cheese is completely melted into the potatoes.
  • Now we're ready to fry! Drop the potatoes into 4 pancakes in a non-stick frying pan. Add the oil and fry them until they become crispy, flipping them occasionally. Because they do not contain flour or eggs, they will still be very soft.

Tips:

  • To make the pancakes more crispy, use a non-stick skillet and cook them over medium-high heat.
  • If you don't have a potato ricer, you can grate the potatoes using the large holes of a box grater.
  • Be sure to squeeze out as much water from the potatoes as possible before mixing them with the other ingredients. This will help the pancakes hold together better.
  • If the batter is too thick, add a little bit of milk or water until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet when cooking the pancakes. Give them plenty of space so they can cook evenly.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, applesauce, or maple syrup.

Conclusion:

These kidney-friendly garlic potato pancakes are a delicious and nutritious way to enjoy potatoes. They are easy to make and can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With their crispy exterior and fluffy interior, these pancakes are sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
