Ingredients

• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 1/4 cup buckwheat flour
• 3 tablespoons chopped scallions
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh marjoram, or 1 teaspoon dried
• 1 tablespoon GF Dijon Mustard
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• 4 cups peeled and shredded root & Tuber Veggies: Sweet Potatoes, Potatoes, Parsnips, Beetroots
• ¼ cup cottage cheese

Method

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat a baking sheet with little oil.
2. Whisk egg, flour, scallions, dill, horseradish, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Stir in vegetables and cottage.
3. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook 4 pancakes per batch: place about 1/4 cup vegetable mixture in a little of the oil and press with the back of a spatula to flatten into a 2- to 3-inch pancake. Cook until crispy and golden, 1 1/2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the pancakes to the prepared baking sheet. Continue with 2 more batches, using the remaining 4 teaspoons oil and vegetable mixture. Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Serve garnished with sour cream, if desired.
