So, what do you do with the leftovers? Well, I made fried potato cakes! I added:
1 egg, beaten- a handful of shredded cheddar (a cup, maybe)
- a heaping spoonful of sour cream (1/4 cup-ish)
- salt, pepper, garlic salt, paprika and onion salt
- enough flour to hold it all together
I mixed all the ingredients, sprayed a little cooking spray on the griddle and cook until brown on one side, flipped and cooked until brown on the other side. Yum!
Much better than trying to reheat mashed potatoes.
Yum! An old fave.
ReplyDeleteMy grandma used to make potato pancakes with leftover mashed potatoes but these look much tastier. I might try it if we ever have any leftovers (not likely with the 12 yo garbage disposal I'm feeding).
ReplyDeletedo you think you would have to use the sour cream?
ReplyDeleteNot at all, Jeannie. I just used it because we all like sour cream. I was going for kind of a "loaded fried potato cake" kind of thing. ;-)
ReplyDeleteOooh...these are very similar to the ones my Grandmother used to make, and my Mom still does.
ReplyDeleteCould I include this post in next week's Homesteading Carnival? I'll be putting it together this Sunday night, and it will go live on Monday. You can let me know at kurtshan@cinci.rr.com
Thanks so much!

yummy!! I make potato cakes but I don't put sour cream or cheese in them. I put onion in them. However, my girls will add a slice of cheese on the top of theirs on their plate. I may have to try this recipe. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYes, yes!! and with chives! :D
