Potato Pancakes and salad with homemade dressing

My friend and neighbor Sarah shared some vegetarian cookbooks with me, which is where I found the following recipes ( I made a few small changes).

Potato Pancakes
Preheat your oven to 250.
Line a cookie sheet with paper towels.

Shred 2-3 potatoes.
Slice 2 green onions.
Beat 2 eggs.

Mix the potatoes, green onions, and eggs.

Add 1 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper.

Mix again.

In a skillet, add just enough olive oil to cover the pan and turn the heat on med/high.

Scoop out your potato mixture with a 1/2 cup measuring cup and place the mixture in the hot skillet.  Smash it down with a slotted spatula.

Repeat until your skillet can't hold anymore (two to three pancakes).

Cook each side about 7 minutes.

When a batch finishes, transfer the pancakes onto the cookie sheet and put this in the oven to keep warm.

While cooking your pancakes you can also work on your salad.
Wash your Romaine lettuce and fresh spinach. 
Tear your lettuce into bite size pieces.
Shred a carrot.

Balsamic vinegarette:
Pour about 1/2 cup olive oil into a small bowl
Add 4-5 tsp balsamic vinegar
Add 1 minced garlic clove (I only used 1/2)
Add a dash of salt
Mix this all together.

Toss your greens and carrots with the dressing.
