Ingredients

  • Vegetable cooking spray
  • 2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and grated
  • 2 medium zucchini, grated
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves, plus leaves, for garnish
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan, plus 1 tablespoon
  • 1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
  • 2 egg whites, lightly beaten
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus extra for seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus extra for seasoning
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Olive oil, for drizzling
  • 1 1/2 cups mascarpone cheese, at room temperature

Directions

Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet, liberally, with vegetable cooking spray. Set aside

Lay the potatoes and zucchini on 2 kitchen towels. Bring the corners of the towels together and squeeze out the moisture from the vegetables. Place the vegetables in a large bowl. Add the garlic, chopped rosemary, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, egg whites, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.

In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the vegetable mixture to the pan. Using a spatula, press the mixture evenly into the pan. Drizzle the top with olive oil and sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese. Cook for 8 minutes or until the edges of the mixture begin to brown. Slide the pancake, cooked side down, onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the top of the pancake starts to brown and the edges are crispy.

In a small bowl, beat the mascarpone until smooth and season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Cut the pancake into 1 1/2-inch squares and arrange on a serving platter. Pipe or spoon the seasoned mascarpone on top and garnish with a few fresh rosemary leaves.

    I was assigned this recipe by our Dinner Group and noticed that the recipe stated it made 30+ pancakes and yet the description seemed as if it only made one. Therefore, I came to this site to see what others had said. I read every review and realized that I was heading for a problem. Therefore, I also watched the video. I noticed that Giada talked about a 450 degree oven while the recipe listed 400 degrees. I believe that there was an error in the recipe and that it should have said 450 degrees. When I followed the recipe as given but cooked it at 450 degrees, everything was perfect! Also, it works well to cook ahead and refrigerate or freeze. Heat at 350 degrees on a foil-lined baking sheet. Top with mascarpone or other topping and serve.

    Needs way more than a teaspoon of rosemary to make this interesting. Also, the directions seem wrong in regard to which side to have up on the baking sheet. If you are looking for crispy try to have the underside of the fry pan showing on top of the baking sheet - which requires flipping - have a friend ready to help.

    Fried Potato Perfection! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this recipe and so do all my friends and family. The recipe is really light with crazy amounts of savory flavor to it. I make this with dinner or as a brunch item. One small tip...I wouldn't be intimidated by the cheese or garlic. I find you can never have too much!
