Mashed Potato Pancakes
Description
This recipe mixes cold mashed potatoes with egg, flour, minced garlic, kosher salt, coarse black pepper, shredded cheddar cheese, and thinly sliced green onions to form a flavorful batter. The mixture is scooped and flattened into 1-inch thick patties before frying in butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.
The pancakes cook 8 to 10 minutes on one side until golden and then another 6 to 8 minutes after flipping, resulting in crisp edges and a soft, cheesy center. Butter is added as needed during cooking to enhance browning and flavor.
This recipe yields 8 to 10 pancakes, perfect as a savory side dish or snack. The inclusion of cheddar and green onions adds depth and a mild sharpness, complementing the creamy potato base. Cooling the potatoes beforehand helps the patties hold together better during frying.
