Leftover Mashed Potato Pancakes
Crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside, these Leftover Mashed Potato Pancakes are a delicious way to reinvent yesterday’s mash into a golden, savory treat.
Ingredients
- Leftover Mashed Potatoes: 2 cups (the creamy base for the pancakes)
- All-Purpose Flour: 1/4 cup (binds and firms up the texture)
- Egg: 1 large (helps hold everything together)
- Shredded Cheese: 1/2 cup (adds richness and flavor, optional)
- Chopped Green Onions: 1/4 cup (adds brightness and bite)
- Salt and Pepper: To taste (enhances the overall flavor)
- Oil or Butter: For pan-frying (creates that crispy golden crust)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix mashed potatoes, flour, egg, cheese, green onions, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Shape the Pancakes: Scoop about 1/4 cup of the mixture and form into patties using your hands.
- Preheat Your Equipment: Heat oil or butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Cook to Perfection: Place patties in the skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
- Finishing Touches: Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm with sour cream, chives, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- For extra flavor, mix in herbs like parsley, thyme, or dill.
- If the mix feels too wet, add a bit more flour.
- Make mini versions as a party appetizer.
- These reheat well in a toaster oven or skillet.
