PARSNIP & POTATO PANCAKES
Recipe
3 cups yams or sweet potatoes, grated
3 cups parsnips, grated
1/2 cup green onions, chopped
1/3 cup all purpose flour
1 1/2 tbsp thyme
2 eggs, beaten
2 tbsp. olive oil
S&P to taste
Servings: 10-12 individual pancakes
In a large bowl combine potatoes, parsnips, green onions, flour, thyme and beaten eggs. Season with S&P. Toss with your hands making sure the egg is blended well and evenly distributed in the vegetables. Preheat a skillet or saute pan on med. heat with 1 1/2 tbsp. of olive oil. Add the mixture in individual pancake size portions, patting down to make even. Brown for 3-4 minutes. Check to see if crispy, then drizzle olive oil over the top (so it won't stick) before flipping. Turn over and brown other side for another 3-4 minutes. That's it!
NOTE: Make sure your saute pan isn't too hot or the pancakes will brown too quickly and the veg. won't be cooked.
This is a great brunch idea and you'll definitely impress you're friends. It is not only delicious, it makes a great healthy alternative to fried potatoes. Even the little ones will like it because it's sweet and has the name Pancake. You can always trust an Irishman. We think of everything!

PARSNIP TIPS:
Since I'm getting used to this video stuff I may be leaving out my 'healthified' tips so here goes:
Olive Oil vs. Butter: it's true parsnips love butter but your arteries and arse may not appreciate it as much. Olive oil contains the "good fats" and works just fine on those taste buds.
Honey vs. Sugar: parsnips are also partial to sugar but as we all now that's a no-no as much as possible. Lean towards honey, agave, or even pure maple syrup to get the effect but without using refined sugars. Parsnips tend to be sweet on their own so you'll be amazed how easy it will be not to use sugar.
Curry Powder: bloody good stuff on 'em!
