Mashed Potato Pancakes
Description
The Mashed Potato Pancakes recipe uses mashed potatoes mixed with egg, seasoned salt, ground black pepper, flour, and green onions. Shaping the mixture into 3-inch patties allows for even cooking in a buttered skillet over medium heat. The frying process creates a slightly crisp edge while keeping the interior tender and flavorful from the seasoned potatoes and onions.
These pancakes work well as a side dish accompanying meat or vegetable meals or as a comforting snack anytime. Their mild seasoning allows pairing with a variety of foods, and they can be served warm directly from the pan.
If you want to keep the pancakes warm before serving, placing them in an oven-safe dish in a 200-degree oven helps maintain temperature without drying them out. Additional butter can be added between batches to maintain a rich flavor and ensure the pancakes don't stick during cooking.
Ingredients
- 2 cups potato mashed
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt Lawry’s
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper ground
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon green onion finely sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Combine the mashed potatoes, egg, seasoned salt, ground black pepper, flour, and green onion in a large bowl and mix well.
- Shape the potato mixture into 3-inch patties.
- Heat a medium-sized skillet over medium heat. Add the butter.
- When the butter is melted, cook the potato pancakes on both sides until they’re heated through and browned. This should take 4 to 5 minutes on the first side, and 3 to 4 minutes on the other side.
- You may need to cook the potato pancakes in small batches. You may also need to add addtional butter to the bottom of the pan in the additional batches.
Notes
- Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200°F oven in an oven-proof dish until serving.
- Use additional butter when cooking multiple batches to prevent sticking and maintain flavor.
