I often cook savoury ‘Cheesy Potato Pancakes’ with an extra ingredient, that can be canned fish such as Mackerel OR Salmon. Today I used Edamame Beans. Edamame Beans are young Soy Beans. In Melbourne where I live, frozen Edamame Beans already removed from the pods are available from most supermarkets. These pancakes are full of protein.
