You may not think you could lose weight while on a diet plan which includes potato pancakes (panques de papa) but it is achievable. It is pivotal to not eat potato pancakes (panques de papa) or other high calorie vegetable every day but in moderation.

For example, I allow myself high calorie food once per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet for 6 days of the week, say 1500 to 1800 calories each day, and then on the last day, I eat what I please – within moderation of course.

I have been sticking to this diet for the last 4 weeks and it has aided me to lose 5 kilos. I have not changed my exercise plan or taken any pills or diet food. I have only been aware of what I eat on most days and then eat whatever I like one day a week.

I also find it makes things easier if you have professional support when trying to lose weight and for that I registered with the Biggest Loser club. They have lots of tools to enable you to monitor your progress and attain your goals.

Potato Pancakes (Panqu?s de Papa)

6 red potatoes
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup Monterey jack cheese, shredded
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup bread crumbs
1/4 cup vegetable oil

Bring water to boil in a large pot. Peel potatoes and cut into 1-inch pieces. Put into boiling water and boil until potatoes are fully cooked. Drain, then discard water.

Preheat oven to 150 degrees F. Beat potatoes on medium speed of an electric mixer until smooth. Mix in eggs, cheese, salt and 1/2 cup of the bread crumbs. Form 1-inch balls and then flatten the balls into rounds.

In a heavy skillet, heat the oil. Dip potato pancakes in remaining bread crumbs and fry pancakes until brown on both sides – 1 minute on each side, then 30 seconds on the first side again.

Place fried pancakes on a paper towel on an ovenproof platter. When finished frying potato pancakes, discard the paper and place the pancakes in the oven until ready to serve.

Serves 6.
