When Saturday Mornings are filled with drizzles, my daughter and I usually sit around, catching up on the latest episode of Below Deck Med and enjoy a stack of these super easy Oatmeal Pancakes.

I first shared those Oatmeal Pancakes on here in the early days of this blog and these pancakes are some of our all-time favorite weekend pancakes!

Some days, my daughter likes to top her oatmeal pancakes with a mile-high tower of whipped cream, and other days she goes the savory route and tops hers with cheese and avocado.

These pancakes only call for 6 ingredients:

Now, coming back to these oat potato pancakes, I also added in a small smidge of smoked paprika but that’s totally optional. Y’all, these pancakes turned out so darn delicious. So satisfying, so delicious, so comforting, and yet, so good for ya!

I was almost through making a whole stack of these and whipping up some scrambled eggs to accompany them along with some Sweet Chili Sauce, when an idea occurred to me. Why not scoop out the middle of some of these pancakes and drop an egg into them kind of like you’d do with toast to make an Egg In A Hole?

And, that is exactly what I did with the remaining pancake mix.

When it was time to chow down, having one of those egg-filled oat potato pancakes on top of a plain oat potato pancake was such a delight. That oozy egg yolk dripping down and over both pancakes along with that sweet chili sauce, made for one heck of a glorious breakfast.

Oat Potato Pancakes Recipe - Savory Spin (8)

Yield: 10 pancakes

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 30 minutes

These light and fluffy, gluten-free, 6-ingredient, Oat Potato Pancakes are so satisfying, so delicious, so comforting and yet, so good for ya! Whip up a stack to enjoy with your family this Saturday morning.

Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups rolled oats
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • 2 cups milk of your choice
  • 2 + 3 Eggland’s Best eggs
  • 1 medium sized yellow potato
  • ¼ tsp smoked paprika, optional

Instructions

  1. Clean and peel the potato. Then place it in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave it for 5 minutes. Remove it from the microwave and let it cool a bit so it’s easy to handle.
  2. Meanwhile, place the rolled oats in a high-powered blender and pulse it until the oats have become more like oat flour.
  3. Add oat flour into a bowl, along with the baking powder and salt, and mix well.
  4. Pour in the milk.
  5. Then, beat 2 eggs together and add them to in the oat mix.
  6. Finally, grate the potato (make sure you handle it carefully if it’s still warm). And add the grated potato into the oat pancake mix.
  7. Stir the mix well and set aside for 7-10 minutes. The longer the mixture sits, the less likely will the mixture run when you place it on your hot pan, resulting in thicker pancakes.
  8. Spoon 4-5 spoonfuls of pancake mix onto a greased pan and let it cook for a couple of minutes – over a medium flame. Then flip and let cook another 2-4 minutes.
  9. For those pancakes with an egg cooked into them, after you flip the pancake, simply scoop the middle of the pancake out (there will be a bit of uncooked dough, but don’t worry about it). Break an egg into the middle of the pancake. Then, (now this part might seem odd but I learned this from the interwebs) add 2-3 tablespoons of water into the pan, cover it tightly and cook for 3-4 minutes.
  10. Uncover and serve warm!

The potato pancake is much simpler, with nothing but raw grated potatoes, egg, and all-purpose flour.

Surprisingly, the potato pancake has a longer preparation time due to the simplicity of its batter.

Why are my potato pancakes mushy? ›

Potato pancakes may turn out mushy if there is too much moisture in the potatoes or if the batter is too wet. To prevent this, be sure to thoroughly squeeze out excess liquid from the grated potatoes using a kitchen towel or cheesecloth before mixing them with the other ingredients.

Why do Jews eat potato pancakes on Hanukkah? ›

These potato pancakes (called latkes) are meant to symbolize the miracle of Hanukkah, when the oil of the menorah in the ransacked Second Temple of Jerusalem was able to stay aflame for eight days even though there was only enough oil for one day.

What is the difference between German potato pancakes and latkes? ›

Potato pancakes have a creamy, almost mashed-potato-like center, with a thin, golden, crisp exterior. Latkes, on the other hand, should have a deeply browned crust, with wispy, lacy edges. Latkes also aren't hash browns.

What is the best oil for potato pancakes? ›

Oil choice is crucial for a perfectly fried latke. Because you are deep frying, you want to use a neutral oil with a high smoke point, such as vegetable, canola, or grapeseed.

Why are my potato pancakes gummy? ›

Potatoes are filled with starch, some varieties more than others. As you mix and mash your potatoes, they release that starch.

Why do my protein pancakes fall apart? ›
