Do you have some leftover mashed potatoes lingering in the fridge that need to be used up? Turn them into potato pancakes! They come together quickly and make a great side dish, snack, breakfast, or lunch. Top with butter, sour cream, and chives for a delightfully simple culinary experience.
Leftover Mashed Potato Pancakes
Ingredients:
2 cups (give or take) leftover mashed potatoes
2 eggs
A couple shakes of garlic powder and dried parsley or other spices as desired (optional)
Butter or ghee for frying
Butter, sour cream, and chives for topping
Directions:
- Mash together the potatoes, eggs, and garlic powder with a fork until well combined
- Heat 1-2 T. of butter in a skillet, preferably cast iron.
- Drop 1/4 cupfuls of the mixture into the skillet, flattening slightly with a spoon if necessary.
- Cook until browned on one side, then flip and cook the other side.
- Repeat with the remaining potato mixture, adding more butter to the skillet when necessary.
- Serve with butter, sour cream, and fresh chives, or other toppings of your choice.

Anyway, thanks for posting this. If you’ve never visited yet, I hope you can pop by my blog sometime to say hi…
I just looove anything to do with potatoes, and in our house, we never have leftover mashed potatoes LOL, but next time, I'll definitely make a double batch just so we can make these pancakes the next day. Thanks for sharing at Tiny Tip Tuesday! Your post is being featured on my Facebook page today! :)

I love potato pancakes! I am giving away two great prizes on my blog: a $50 gift certificate to my favorite jeweler robinsonlane.com and a copy of a new book published by fellow blogger, Kat Robinson. It is called Arkansas Pie: A Slice of the Natural State. I just know you will love either one. http://diningwithdebbie.blogspot.com/2012/11/2012-merry-merry-munchies-3-baked.html Come link up to enter.
