Now that the New Year is here, we are all looking for healthier recipes. So even though I am in the middle of a move. I wanted to share with you this quick recipe. It is simple to make and much healthier than the potatoes that I usually crave during stressful times. These are a great side dish! Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteIt is optional, it helps crisp up the bottom of the cakes, but you can make it without. i have done it both ways.
