Rainbow Potato Pancakes

Submitted by SrtaMaestra

"Another recipe from the Potato Board pamphlet that I have not yet tried. This sounds like an interesting savory pancake with a combination of yummy veggies! With the bread crumbs and lack of flour, they sound more like a 'patty' than a pancake."

The flavor of this shold be 6 stars, but it was hard to serve and eat. My cakes didn't stay together very well and I had to put each serving on individual plates to avoid having potato pancakes all over the place. They tasted wonderful though and were not hard to make. A great, flavorful and healthy appetizer or side dish.
