Keto Ham Scallion Potato Pancakes

Potato pancakes are fluffy and dense at the same time. They are light and rich, making for a delicious breakfast. This “starchy” meal is complemented with diced ham and fresh scallions. You can serve your pancakes with sour cream or greek yogurt for dipping, or you can add them to eggs or another favorite breakfast food.

Raw Egg, White

2 large
Almond Flour

1 cup
Salt

⅛ teaspoon
Baking Powder

¼ teaspoon
Buttery Homestyle Instant Mashed Potatoes by Idahoan

2 tablespoon
Scallions

1 tablespoon, chopped
Ham

1 large slice - 6 1/4" x 4" x 1/16" - each 1 ounce
Heavy Cream

¼ cup
Water

½ cup
Butter, Salted

2 tablespoon

Step 1

In a stand mixer, whip up the egg whites until you have stiff peaks. Transfer the whipped egg whites to a bowl and set to the side. Wip your mixing bowl clean for the next step.
Step 2

In the mixer, mix together the almond flour, salt, baking powder, instant mash, chopped scallions, and finely chopped ham.
Step 3

Combine the heavy cream and water and mix this into the dry ingredients. Then, use a spatula to gently fold the egg whites into the batter, being careful not to deflate all the air bubbles in the eggs.
Step 4

Heat a non-stick pan or skillet over a low heat. Melt in a ½ TB of butter. When the butter is heated, drop in 3-4 scoops of batter that are approx. 3 fl. oz. each (this is a little less than a ¼ cup). Cook the pancakes for about 4 minutes per side, adjusting the heat as necessary.
Step 5

Continue cooking all your pancakes, using about ½ TB of butter per 3 pancakes. Allow the pancakes to cool slightly before serving.

I rather wipe the bowl clean than wip it clean. Spellcheck doesn’t always work.

  Try coconut flour! This may add about 1g carb per serving however. Hope this helps!

4.3 net carbs per 3 pancakes, do the left overs keep well for a few days?

  You can keep the leftovers for up to 3 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator. To reheat, they will maintain the best texture if you reheat in a pan on the stove as opposed to a microwave. Hope this helps!

Keto approved with Idahoan potatoes?

  These are instant mashed potatoes. It is such a small amount that it does not significantly impact the carbs in this recipe.
