Confetti Potato Pancakes

"My husband's family is Irish, and his mother makes potato pancakes quite often," writes Betsy McDaniels of Colfax, Illinois. "I like to add other vegetables to give them a more colorful look and heartier texture. Crispy on the outside and soft inside, these receive rave reviews, especially when I serve them to my in-laws!"

    I thought they were quite good, I didn't get them as crispy as I would have liked, but that was definitely cook's error. :) You can go a million ways with this one, I halved the recipe and got 8 nice sized pancakes and will freeze the leftovers.
