1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine potatoes, corn and egg; mix well with a spoon.

3. Over medium heat, in a large non-stick, heat heat 2 tablespoons of the canola oil until hot. Fry the patties, a few at a time, for 2 minutes, or until golden brown on the bottom; flip and cook another 2 minutes. on the second side.

I did not care for this. I have no suggestions to improve upon it, but I think the bread crumbs may have made this too dry. The pancakes were crumbly and hard to form, they fell apart and were rather bland. I liked the idea, these just didn't do it for me.
