Chow-Chow Pancakes

2 eggs, beaten
1 cup shredded potatoes
1 cup shredded zucchini or crookneck yellow squash (OR half and half of each)
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1/4 cup shredded onions
1/4 cup minced red sweet bell peppers or green bell peppers
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup applesauce (For Applesauce Topping) (optional)
2 teaspoons prepared horseradish (For Applesauce Topping)
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream (For Sour Cream Topping) (optional)
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard (For Sour Cream Topping)

In medium mixing bowl, combine all ingredients for pancakes and mix well.
(Do not include the optional topping ingredients.) Over medium heat, prepare an oiled griddle or large frying pan.
Spoon 1/4 cup of mixture onto hot, oiled griddle.
Flatten with spatula to about 1/4 inch thickness.
Repeat with remaining mixture, cooking a few pancakes at a time for about 3 minutes per side or till golden.
Remove; keep pancakes warm in a single layer on a baking sheet in a warm oven while cooking the remainder.
These pancakes are delicious plain, but desired toppings may be used.
For Applesauce Topping: Combine applesauce and horseradish in a small saucepan and heat through.
For Sour Cream Topping: Stir sour cream and dijon mustard together and combine well.
