Directions

Potato Pancakes

  1. Gather a medium bowl and dish towel and set aside.
  2. Place potatoes and onion in the middle of the dish towel and ring out excess liquid from the potato and onion. Repeat this 2-3 times to ensure all liquid is removed.
  3. In the medium bowl combine potato mixture, egg, cheese, flour, salt, and pepper.
  4. Heat a large pan on medium-high heat and add about 2 tbsp. of oil to the pan.
  5. Once the pan is heated take a small amount of the potato mixture (depending on how big or small you want to make them, 2-3 tbsp. is a good amount) and flatten in your hand.
  6. Place the flattened pancake in the pan and cook for about 2 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Repeat this process until the potato mixture is all gone.
  8. Once out of the pan, place on a paper towel covered plate to soak up excess oil and sprinkle with salt.

Board Assembly

  1. On a large tray or board place cut cheeses in different spots, leaving room between each.
  2. Put granola, yogurt, and any jam(s) you'd like to use in small bowls or ramakins. Place on board or beside board.
  3. Fill in spaces with pancakes, bagels, waffles, deli meats, fruits, vegetables, bacon, hard boiled eggs, and potato pancakes.
  4. Serve with maple syrup and enjoy!
