LEFTOVER MASHED POTATO PANCAKES
This is a great recipe for leftover mashed potatoes. I never liked reheated mashed potatoes, but if you fry them in a pan as a potato pancake, they taste delicious. You might need to adjust the ingredients depending on how much mashed potatoes you have left over.

CHEESY LEFTOVER MASHED POTATO PANCAKES
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 leftover mashed potatoes that are at least a day old. This will help the pancakes hold their shape better.
- Add an egg to the mashed potatoes to help bind the ingredients together.
- Season the mashed potatoes with salt, pepper, and other herbs or spices to taste.
- Use a variety of toppings for your pancakes, such as cheese, bacon, sour cream, or salsa.
- Serve the pancakes immediately or reheat them in the oven or toaster.
Conclusion:
Leftover mashed potato pancakes are a delicious and easy way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. They are a versatile dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious meal that the whole family will enjoy.
