Potato Pancakes

[BigWadeS]

Anyone have any good recipe ideas for potato pancakes using left over mashed potatoes?

BigWadeS, I don't have a recipe for them using left over mashed potatos, I can line you up with a potatoe pancake mix that's as good as my 'Granny' made. I was so hungry for potato pancakes, and granny had passed away not leaving a written recipe, but I remembered the flavor well! Let me know if you're interested, I'll get you set up! Phred52

Try this:

Mashed Potato Pancakes

(5 servings)

2 cups mashed potatoes

1 large egg—beaten lightly

6 Tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 and ½ Tablespoons grated onion

Salt and pepper to taste

Vegetable oil for frying

In a medium bowl, whisk together the mashed potatoes and egg. Add the flour and onion and mix all together well. Add salt and pepper to batter if desired.

In a large skillet or on a griddle, heat vegetable oil (about 3 Tablespoons maybe) over medium-high heat. Dollop batter onto the heated surface in healing tablespoons. Flatten each dollop slightly with the spoon to create the cakes.

Cooking time is about a minute per side. They should be golden brown on each side, so I usually cook them with my eyes more focused on the pancakes than the clock.

If cooking multiple batches, transfer completed cakes to a paper lined microwave-safe plate in the microwave. If needed when all the cakes are done, microwave the stack for 20 seconds to assure they’re all warm.

BigJulie - thats about exactly the same as my moms recipe but she uses fresh uncooked potato's that she grates on the knuckle buster. She uses the side with the pencil size holes. They are great served with sour cream, I like mine with some hot sauce.

Go great with a ring of kielbasi!
