Alas, sometimes you need to just make it yourself when you have a hankering for something specific, so I reached deep down to create some “spiced up” stuff to give me those weekend breakfast giggles:) And….drum roll please…here are some yum-tastic potato pancakes taken to the next level with Sriracha-spiced syrup…Make em’, plate em’, then – EAT THEM UP!
Simple Potato Pancakes with Sriracha-Spiced Syrup
makes 6 pancakes
- 1/2 LB red, purple, or sweet potato – shredded
- 1/4 cup yellow onion, chopped
- 1 pasture-raised organic egg or flax egg (1 TB flax meal mixed with 2 1/2 TB warm water)

- dash of black pepper
- 1/2 cup Grade A maple syrup
- 2 TB Sriracha sauce

To Make:

- Form 6 pancakes and place them on a plate.
- Place a large skillet on the stove and place 1 TB coconut or hemp oil in it – let it sit over medium heat for 30 seconds.
- Add the pancakes into the skillet and cook until lightly browned on both sides- roughly 3-4 minutes/side. once completed, place them on a paper towel-lined plate to soak up any excess cooking oil.
- Meanwhile, mix the maple syrup through garlic together in a small bowl- refrigerate until serving the pancakes.
