Simplicity in the kitchen is always appreciated so it's nice when you come up with a recipe that can be turned into a meal on it's own, or used as an appetizer. You get added bonus points when the food is healthy and tastes great - and that's exactly what we're working with today as Chef Laura welcomed us back into her kitchen. Not only is Laura Romito an amazing chef and seasoned recipe creator, but she's also the mastermind behind Food Geek Foods and the delicious brand of High 5 Salts. It's always a treat to partner up with her in the kitchen to see what mouth watering creations she can whip up. With these gluten free potato pancakes we skipped the wheat flour, which can be a little heavier. Instead we reached for oat flour, which gave us a nice and light consistency that was also gluten-free. The oat flour has a bit of a sweeter taste, but in this case you could use millet flour too, which has a bit more of a nuttier taste.
