Savory Potato Pancakes

Ok, so this recipe came about because we were thinking about having pancakes for dinner, but I didn't want something sweet.

Ingredients:
1 batch Pamela's gluten free pancakes
3 yukon gold potatoes, peeled and grated
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1 Tblsp fresh rosemary, minced
1/3 cup grated parmesan
1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese
4 slices bacon
butter
salt and pepper

Once your potatoes are grated, place them in a paper towel and squeeze out all moisture. Put them into a bowl and toss with salt and pepper.  Saute the onion in butter, and when softened add the rosemary.  When the onion is translucent, add the mixture to the potatoes.  Make a batch of pancakes, and mix in the parmesan.  Mix the pancake and potato mixtures together.  
Chop the bacon into small pieces and cook in a pan until crispy.  
Melt butter in a pan and add 1/4 cup pancake batter.  Cook until nice and brown on both sides. 
Plate with goat cheese and bacon crumbles.

I think this recipe would work with any number of fresh herbs in the batter, and a variety of different toppings.  Possibly a herbed creme fraiche.  It would even work as breakfast with a fried egg on top and some grated parmesan.

Enjoy!

Sounds fabulous. I'll have to ask Frank to make some.
