Scallion Mashed Potato Pancakes image

This recipe was created from our mound of leftover mashed potatoes from Thanksgiving! It's so easy and delicious! Even my picky son that eats only 15 things had 5 pancakes! Drizzle a bit more sesame oil over the pancakes for that extra splash of flavor. Great as a side dish to anything, and another alternative to potato latkes!

Time 45m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups leftover mashed potatoes
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons sesame oil, divided
salt and ground white pepper to taste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 large scallions, chopped
¼ cup vegetable oil, or as needed

Steps:

  • Mix mashed potatoes, flour, eggs, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, salt, and white pepper together in a medium mixing bowl. The mixture should be a little doughy, enough to form a ball in your palm.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Saute scallions in the hot oil until soft, about 5 minutes. Fold into the potato mixture until combined.
  • Heat enough vegetable oil in the frying pan to cover by 1/4 inch and add a drizzle of remaining sesame oil.
  • Form balls of potato mixture using a 1/4 cup measure and flatten into pancakes. Gently place into the hot oil in batches and cook until browned on both sides and somewhat firm, about 5 minutes. Transfer pancakes to a paper towel-lined plate to soak up excess oil. Repeat with remaining mixture, adding more vegetable oil and sesame oil before frying each batch. Transfer to a platter and serve hot.

These pancakes were a little too oily for my taste.

These scallion mashed potato pancakes were a hit! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the scallions added a delicious flavor.
