Print Recipe

Leftover Mashed Potato Pancakes are crispy on the outside, soft and cheesy on the inside, and the perfect way to turn yesterday’s mashed potatoes into today’s delicious snack or side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cold mashed potatoes
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2–3 tbsp oil, for frying

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine mashed potatoes, cheese, flour, egg, green onions, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Shape mixture into patties, about 1/4 cup each, and flatten slightly.
  3. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  4. Fry patties 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  6. Serve hot with sour cream, ranch, or applesauce.

Notes

  • Use cold mashed potatoes for best results—they hold shape better.
  • Don’t overcrowd the skillet; cook in batches for crispy edges.
  • Add crumbled bacon or paprika for extra flavor.
