Living in a city with 14.2 millions of people comes with some extreme challenges. Many people have to wake up before sunset and start driving if they do not want to spend their entire mornings in the traffic rush. This year, I have to wake up at 6 o'clock to go to school but I am used to it because since 1st grade I have been getting up very early in the morning. That is why it is not a big deal for me to skip breakfast.
I know that skipping the most important meal of the day is extremely unhealthy. But I do not have enough time. However just because I am not having breakfast at home doesn't mean that I do not have breakfast at all. When I arrive to school I pick up a grilled cheese or a yoghurt and have my breakfast when I arrive to school.
Weekends therefore are really important for me because weekend is the only time where I can properly have a breakfast with my family. But I am very picky when it comes to breakfast. For example, I do not like the classic white bread, I prefer whole-wheat. Also, I do not like scrambled eggs, I prefer omelettes.
In a classic Turkish breakfast, you can find tomatoes, green peppers, olives, feta cheese, eggs, sucuk (a spicy Turkish sausage), a variety of savoy baked goods like poğaça or börek, honey, jam and the classic Turkish tea, which I also do not like. So, I prefer to prepare some things that will fit my taste palette and will be a healthy option in the morning.
Today I am going to share a recipe that is a great alternative if you have some leftover mashed potatoes. I did not have any leftovers but come on, boiling some potatoes is never that difficult. I woke up this morning craving some pancakes, but then I realised that I actually wasn't in the mood for a sweet pancake. So, I decided to go with this version. I was very amazed with the outcome so, I hope you'll like time. They might not look like a perfect pancake, but I assure you that they taste amazing. These pancakes will be a great option for your Sunday Brunch. So, here is the recipe;
