Pancakes

Ingredients:

3 cup
washed, grated potatoes (preferably Russet)
750 mL
1 Tbsp
lemon juice
15 mL
1 cup
cooked wild rice
250 mL
1
egg, slightly beaten
1
1/2 cup
whole wheat flour
125 mL
1 Tbsp
prepared mustard
15 mL
2 Tbsp
fresh dill
30 mL
2 Tbsp
canola oil
30 mL
1/2 tsp
salt
2 mL
1 tsp
freshly ground pepper
5 mL
3-5 Tbsp
canola oil for frying
45-75 mL

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, place grated potatoes. Cover with cold water and add lemon juice, to prevent darkening. Just before making pancakes, drain water from potatoes; place potatoes in a clean, dry dish towel and squeeze out all excess water.
2. Return potatoes to large bowl, and combine with rice, egg, flour, mustard, dill, canola oil and salt. Mix well to combine ingredients.
3. Heat 1 Tbsp (15 mL) of canola oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Place about 1/4 cup (50mL) of the potato mixture into the hot oil and gently flatten with spatula.
4. Fry for 3-4 minutes until edges are crisp; carefully flip. Fry 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and repeat, adding more canola oil as needed, until all the mixture is cooked.
5. Keep warm in oven until ready to serve.

salt and pepper to taste

4. Add the corn and cook until vegetables are heated through. Add the dill, salt and pepper and remove from heat.
