Made potato cakes with leftover mashed potatoes

Ingredients

• 3 cups mashed potatoes
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1-2 cups all purpose flour
• vegetable oil

Optional Add Ins:

• ranch seasoning
• garlic
• onions
• diced vegetables

Optional Toppings:

• sour cream
• green onions (chopped)

Instructions

• Place your mashed potatoes, eggs, cheese, and one cup of flour into a large bowl.
• Stir until WELL combined.
• Gradually add up to one more cup of flour until the potato mixture become s thick enough to hold their shape on the griddle.
• Heat a large skillet with about 1/4″ oil in the bottom over medium high heat.
• Once the oil is hot, drop the batter by 3/4 cup full (or smaller if you’d like) into the oil. Use a spoon to spread slightly into a round “pancake”.
• Cook until the pancake is golden brown on one side. Then flip and continue to cook until the patty is golden brown on the second side and cooked through.
• Place a wire rack on a baking sheet. As you remove the potato cakes, place them on the wire rack so any extra oil drips down and they don’t get soggy.
• Top with sour cream and green onions.
• Serve immediately.
