We love making these crispy little potato pancakes for dinner with roast chicken and gravy.  Or, served with a little sour cream and chives with a great glazed ham but they also make a fantastic addition to a weekend brunch.

You can add minced garlic, green onion, chives or minced jalapeno peppers to the mix for even more flavourful varieties.
