Mashed Potato Pancakes
Mashed Potato Pancakes! Looking to use up your leftover mashed potatoes? Transform them into irresistible crispy pancakes filled with cheese and onion. Top it off with a dollop of sour cream for the perfect finishing touch.
Ingredients Needed
Can I Double This Recipe?
- Yes. This recipe can easily be doubled. I was able to get about 9- 3 inch pancakes from 3 cups of leftover mashed potatoes.
- With that said, you can make bigger or smaller pancakes. Simply adjust your frying time.
Can I Use Another Type of Cheese?
Of course! We always have sharp cheddar in our fridge, so, that is my go-to cheese. However, these will work with just about any flavor.
How Do I Freeze These?
Let them cool completely. Then, store in a freezer safe, covered storage container or bag. They will be good for 2-3 months.
