My mother used to make too many mashed potatoes, just so she'd have the leftovers to make these cakes. Now I do, too. They're very simple and a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. Ingredients:
2 cups mashed potatoes |
1 egg |
1 tablespoon dried parsley |
1/2 teaspoon onion powder or 3 tablespoons grated fresh onions |
Directions:
1. Mix all ingredients.
2. If mashed potatoes are warm, chill for a couple of hours.
3. Form into 4-6 patties about 1/2 thick.
4. If mixture is too moist to form patties, add a little flour.
5. Dip in flour.
6. Saute slowly in butter, adding more as needed, until crispy on the outside and golden brown.
7. Great with bratwurst, ham, meatloaf, or any meat that doesn't have gravy.
8. Also good with bacon and eggs for breakfast.
