A delightful twist on classic pancakes, incorporating creamy mashed potatoes and a zesty citrus syrup for a unique breakfast experience.
Peel and dice the potatoes, then boil them in a medium saucepan with water until tender.
Ensure the potatoes are fully cooked for smooth mashing.
Mash the cooked potatoes with milk and a pinch of salt until creamy.
Use warm milk to make the mashing process easier.
Separate the eggs, placing yolks in a large bowl and whites in a medium bowl.
Ensure no yolk gets into the whites for better whipping.
Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Use a clean, dry whisk for best results.
Mix the mashed potatoes, egg yolks, milk, flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and brown sugar in the large bowl until combined.
Do not overmix to keep the batter light.
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter.
Fold gently to maintain the airiness of the batter.
Heat a greased griddle and cook pancakes using 1/4 cup of batter each, flipping when bubbles form.
Cook on medium heat to ensure even cooking.
In a small saucepan, combine orange zest, orange juice, cinnamon, and maple syrup. Heat until warm.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Serve the pancakes topped with the warm citrus syrup.
Garnish with extra orange zest for a vibrant presentation.
