Raw Yam and Carrot Savory Pancakes
I am a big fan of interesting textures and wonderful taste. I am also a big fan of savory pancakes! I decided to create a twist on the traditional potato pancakes with these yam, carrot pancakes that are laced with hazelnuts, rosemary and sage. The flavors marry beautifully and with the addition of the raw apple sauce, you have a easy, delicious dinner.
This is a versitle recipe that travels well making it an ideal lunch to pack. You can also make them smaller and create a tray of wonderful little appetizers. For the appetizers, I would make them about 2″ across. Make sure you pull them out of the dehydrator before they are dehydrated completely dry. You want to keep a little softness in the centers.

Raw latkes! what a great idea…wish I had a dehydrator. These remind me of healthier versions of fried latkes that I have tried over the years, but always greasy and fried, yuck. thanks Susan.
