I know Potato Pancakes such as Hash Browns are not healthy food but I love them. I try to create less unhealthy Potato Pancakes by adding Vegetables OR mashed Chickpeas, etc. Today I added a can of Mackerel and Cheese to this one. These Pancakes are high in calories but seriously delicious. You got to try it if you love Mackerel.
