Crispy Potato Pancakes

Print Friendly and PDFPrint Friendly
So, so easy and just right for breakfast or with dinner.  I like to top them with sour cream or applesauce.  The best part is using up the mashed potatoes from last night's dinner!     
Breakfast
Veggies
Crispy Potato Pancakes
2 cups of COLD mashed potatoes  (Best using the Lemon Caper Mashed Potato Recipe!)
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 to 2 tbsp flour (amount depends on how thick your mashed potatoes are)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp chopped green onions or chives (not necessary if using the Lemon Caper Mashed Potatoes)
  1. Beat eggs in a bowl with a fork.
  2. Stir in the cold mashed potatoes, flour, and any seasonings.
  3. Heat olive oil in a frying pan at medium-high heat. 
  4. Using a large serving spoon, spoon batter into hot oil.  Flatten slightly with a spatula.  Don't get them too thin or too thick!!  You can get about 3 to a skillet.
  5. Cook about 3 - 5 minutes on each side, peeking to see if they are browned and will flip easily.
  6. Transfer to an oven-proof greased cookie sheet or plate and set in warm oven while you are cooking the rest.  
  7. Serve warm with marmalade, sour cream, or applesauce.
