Not Your Ordinary Pancakes

Most of July I've been sticking with simple, familiar recipes.  I didn't have a lot to report to the blogosphere.  And now suddenly, two new recipes two nights in a row!

These Chicken and Potato Pancakes have been on the menu before, but I didn't end up making them for some reason.  It's a shame I didn't--these are good!  They are definitely not a breakfast pancake, but the flavors work together very well.  I was actually surprised how well the cheese, potato and onion all blended.  Only the chicken taste was distinct.  Another time I might try a sharper cheddar to see if a stronger cheese flavor comes through.

I didn't make the suggested gravy.  Instead I just used a country gravy mix made with a combination of chicken broth and milk.  (It's what I get for not closely reading the recipe before I shopped!)  I didn't even use the gravy, just butter.  My daughter and husband both really liked it, though.  Next time I think I'll try the gravy the recipe recommends just to see how it is.
