Step 1

Puree potatoes in food processor. Add remaining ingredients (except fillings/toppings) in order listed and blend.

Spray a nonstick pan with cooking spray and heat to medium high. Pour about 1/2 cup batter into pan and gently tip pan to distribute batter evenly into a thin pancake. Turn pancake when first side appears to be browning; cook until second side is done, remove and keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter.
