Hash brown pancakes. Yesterday was end of 3 day trip and I had packed just enough food so every bit counted. I was preparing to make the pancake batter and, being lazy, I tried to pour water from a full 2 liter platy. Too much water went into the mix and I had a baggie of pancake soup. I took my idahoan potato flakes (four cheese) and mixed then in until I got a good consistency. but after sittting for a minute the potatos rehydrated and absorbed so much moisture that the mix got really thick. Anyhoo, I squeezed some out and pressed it flat like a pancake and cooked it. To my surprise it tasted very good - it actually tasted just like a hash brown.
I will keep this in mind for a day when I am bored with pancakes and want something different.
I wonder if there is a good recipe for hashbrowns that is made from potato flakes. I really enjoyed these. I guess its my Irish coming out- I think I could live on potatos.
