Crispy Mashed Potato Pancakes

By Addie

This is a base recipe. I love mashed potato pancakes and have been looking for a recipe for a long time. I have found many different ones and will be trying the all. I liked this one for the spices added.

Ingredients

• 2 cups cold mashed potatoes (made w/milk and butter)
• 1 egg, slightly beaten
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 Tablespoon flour
• 1 Tablespoon olive oil

Preparation

Step 1

Combine the first five ingredients; mix well. In a small skillet, heat oil over med-high heat. Add potato mixture; press with a spatula to flatten evenly. Cover and cook for 8 mins or until bottom is crispy. Flip and cook again til bottom is crispy.


Can use other spices for different flavors such as; ranch mix, add parmesan cheese to small amount of flour, roll pancakes in flour/cheese mixture before frying. Just remember to adjust the calorie content. Makes 3 cakes
