These potato pancakes are filling and delicious and are also oil and salt free.  I adapted them from a recipe I found on the internet to ensure that they are a healthy way to enjoy this starchy staple. Makes 24.
Ingredients

• 4 large potatoes or 8 small potatoes, peeled and chopped
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 4 gherkins or 2 dill pickles, diced
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 1 Tbs. chickpea flour (or another gluten free flour on hand)
• 1 Tbs. fresh parsley, chopped
• Fresh ground pepper to taste (I did 10 turns of the pepper mill)

Method

1. Peel and dice potatoes and boil for 30 minutes.  Drain and cool.
2. Fry onions in a little water for 10 minutes, then add garlic and continue frying for another 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
3. In a large bowl, mash the potatoes.
4. Add onion, garlic, gherkins, green onions, flour, parsley and pepper.
5. Mix together all the ingredients.
6. With damp hands squeeze mixture into balls slightly larger than a golf ball and flatten.
7. Place on the air fry tray and air fry for 20 minutes at 400 degrees.  Check them at this point.  If they are not cooked to your liking, air fry for another 10 minutes.
8. Serve immediately or let cool and store in a glass covered dish in the fridge until ready to eat.  You can heat them up again in the air fryer or microwave. Delish.

This recipe is SOFAS free (meaning it contains no salt, oil, flour, sugar, alcohol or salt).  This is a delicious and healthy-promoting take on a super fattening comfort food on a cold winter day.
Ingredients

• 4 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and sliced
• 2-4 sweet apples (apples with red on the skin are usually sweet), peeled, cored and sliced
• ½ cup organic unsweetened apple juice
• 2 cups organic rolled oats (preferably gluten free)
• 1 cup unsweetened apple sauce
• 1 ½ tsp cinnamon

Method

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees (400 if your oven doesn’t get hot enough)
2. Cut, core, peel and slice the apples and place in a deep casserole dish. Preferably one with a lid.
3. Pour apple juice over apples.
4. In a small mixing bowl, add the oatmeal and cinnamon and stir quickly to combine.  Add the apple sauce and stir to combine until all the oatmeal is wet and the mixture resembles cookie dough.
5. Using a large spoon, spoon the mixture onto the apples and then smear to make an even coat over the apples.
6. Cover the casserole dish with the lid (or tin foil if you must) and put in the oven for 30 minutes.
7. After 30 minutes remove the lid and bake for an additional 15 to 30 minutes until the oatmeal forms a nice crust and apples are cooked.
8. This makes 6-8 servings depending on how large a serving you want.  Enjoy hot or cold.
