Good morning everyone! *yawns* Since I have leftover mashed potatoes from dinner last night, I decided to share one of my favorite uses for them.
Potato Pancakes
2 cups mashed potatoes
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon butter
- In a medium bowl, beat egg and salt. Add potatoes and cheese, mixing well.
- Melt butter on a large frying pan or griddle on medium heat.
- Drop potato mixture onto griddle 1/4 cup at a time.
- With a spatula, flatten the pancakes to 1/2 inch thick.
- Cook each side until golden brown, about 5 minuted per side. Serve hot.
If you want them more savory, add some garlic, onions or chives.
One of my favorite ways of making these is frying onions in the pan first and once they are removed, frying the potato pancakes in the oniony butter and then served with the fried onions. So good!
I like to serve these with eggs, soft boiled for me. Yum!
