Description
Delightful mashed potato pancakes transformed from leftover mashed potatoes into a crispy treat, perfect for any meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups mashed potatoes
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup green onions, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients. If you have leftover mashed potatoes, this recipe is perfect for using them. In a mixing bowl, incorporate the mashed potatoes, flour, egg, and chopped green onions.
- Mix the ingredients together until everything is well combined. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add enough oil to coat the bottom. Once the oil is hot, form small pancakes from the potato mixture, about the size of your palm. Fry the pancakes in the hot oil for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the pancakes from the skillet and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot and enjoy the crispy, fluffy goodness!
Notes
Serve with sour cream, cheese, applesauce, or top with a fried egg for breakfast.
