Keep your head up! Spring produce is around the corner. In the meantime, try this rather simple and delicious recipe for potato cakes, with the addition of carrots and fresh herbs. Both potatoes and carrots are high in dietary fiber, Vitamin A, and potassium. This recipe also comes in handy when I have leftover mashed potatoes!

½ cup, uncooked rice
4 teaspoons vegetable oil divided
2 small yellow onions diced
2 carrots, peeled and grated (provided)
