Mushroom Filled Potato Pancakes by John Spottiswood

These are healthy, relatively low calorie, and very tasty potato pancakes that I adapted from Jacques Pepin. Sauteed simply in a little oil, they have about 200 calories in each serving of three pancakes.

I got this recipe from my friend Elisabeth. We demonstrated it at a small gathering of food enthusiasts at a local kitchen supply store in the St. Louis area. It was a hit.

It is easy to make and was rated OMG by my very picky family. There may be ways to improve it but here is an instant classic.
