Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 cups cold mashed potatoes
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
  • 1 to 2 green onions (sliced)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Sour cream (for garnish)

Instruction

  • In a large bowl, mix together the mashed potatoes, egg, flour, cheese, green onion, salt, and pepper.
  • Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/2 tablespoon butter into the skillet.
  • Once the butter is melted, add large spoonfuls of the potato mixture to your skillet. Do not overcrowd the pan, you'll work in 2 batches.
  • Brown the pancakes on each side until they are golden, using a spatula to flip them once. Transfer pancakes to a plate. Add the remaining oil and butter to the skillet and repeat with the remaining potato mixture.
  • I like to serve these potato pancakes topped with sour cream and a little more green onion.
