Ham and Potato Pancakes

From the Favorite Brand Name's Incredibly Easy Silly Snacks cookbook:

3/4 pound Yukon gold potatoes, peeled, grated, and squeezed cry (about 2 cups) - I used regular russet potatoes, not grated

1/4 cup finely chopped green onions

2 eggs, beaten

1 cup (4-5 oz) finely chopped cooked ham

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

2-3 tbsp vegetable oil

Mild fruit chutney (optional)

1. Combine grated potatoes, green onions, and egg in a large bowl; mix well. Add ham, flour, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

2. Heat 2 tbsp oil in large heavy-bottomed skills. Drop batter by heaping tablespoons and press with back of spoon to flatten. Cook over medium-high heat 2-3 minutes per side. Remove to paper towels to drain. Add remaining 1 tbsp oil if necessary to cook remaining batter. Serve pancakes with chutney, if desired.

Makes 4 servings (roughly 4 pancakes each)
