Instructions

In a bowl, add the mashed potatoes, eggs, half a cup of breacrumbs, cheese, parsley, salt and pepper.
Mix into a sticky batter, cover with kitchen foil, and refrigrate for at least 30 minutes for the batter to firm up.
Wet your hands, then use about 1-2 heaped tablespoons of batter to form a ball, then coat in breadcrumbs (the cup of breadcrumbs left).
Flatten the ball up into American-style pancakes, then heat up about half a teaspoon of oil in a non-stick pan, and cook on both sides for 1-2 minutes.
Repeat with the remaining batter, you should get about 9 pancakes.

Notes

I highly recommend refrigerating the batter before cooking the pancakes. Once it firms up, it won't be as sticky, and can be easily coated in breadcrumbs. Also, the pancakes won't fall apart if they are refrigerated first. A sticky batter will use a lot more breadcrumbs, and will be a lot trickier to work with.
After a few uses the pan will overheat, if it becomes too hot and smoky, take it off the heat for about 30 seconds, that should cool it down and it can be used again as usual
