CHEESY LEFTOVER MASHED POTATO PANCAKES



Cheesy Leftover Mashed Potato Pancakes image

Provided by Kelly Senyei

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cups chilled leftover mashed potatoes
2/3 cup shredded Cheddar
2 tablespoons chopped scallions, green and white parts, plus more for garnish
1 large egg, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Vegetable oil, for pan-frying
Kosher salt
Sour cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Combine the mashed potatoes, cheese, scallions, egg and 3 tablespoons of the flour in a large bowl (see Cook's Note). With your hands, divide the mixture into 12 portions. Roll each portion into a compact ball, and then flatten it into a pancake about 1/2-inch thick.
  • Put the remaining 1/2 cup flour in a shallow dish and carefully coat each pancake in the flour.
  • Heat 3 to 4 tablespoons of oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. (Add enough oil to thoroughly coat the bottom of the pan.)
  • Fry the pancakes, in batches, until they're golden brown and crispy on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes. Add more oil to the pan as needed between batches. (Do not overcrowd the pan and do not flip the pancakes too soon or they won't develop a crisp crust.) Transfer the pancakes to a paper towel-lined plate and immediately sprinkle them with salt.
  • Serve the potato pancakes topped with sour cream and garnished with additional chopped scallions.

Tips:

  • Use a combination of russet and Yukon Gold potatoes for the best texture and flavor.
  • Grate the potatoes finely so that they cook evenly.
  • Squeeze the grated potatoes well to remove excess moisture.
  • Use a nonstick skillet or griddle to cook the potato cakes to prevent sticking.
  • Cook the potato cakes over medium heat so that they have time to cook through without burning.
  • Flip the potato cakes carefully so that they don't break apart.
  • Serve the potato cakes hot with your favorite toppings.

Conclusion:

Cheesy potato cakes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, side dish, or main course. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect cheesy potato cakes every time.
