sounds good to me with ham for new years day. but we usually have hoppin john (ready made, a gift), confetti rice, and lean ham.

its a ham day.

Tonights dinner. We thought these were better the ordinary.

Adding the apple was a good idea. It was a nice surprise and it curbed the sharpness of the usual potato pancake. We served with apple rings, a demi glace from Knorr, chives, and a small amount of ham. The vegetable side was a carrot cut into sticks the size of green beans: then both veggies were slant-cut.

We halved the recipe. Used the food processor to coarsely chop.

Sprayed a griddle. Halve recipe made 12x4-inch pancakes - which would feed 3 or 4.

tip for next time: rinse and dry potato chunks AND the chopped onion.
