Ingredients
- 18 ½ ounces (525g) leftover mashed potatoes
- 2 green onions (scallions) minced
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 large egg
- salt to taste
- olive oil for frying
Instructions
- Mix together mashed potatoes, green onions, cornstarch, Italian seasoning, egg, and salt in a large bowl until combined. If the mixture is a little loose, add an additional tablespoon of cornstarch at a time until it can hold its shape when formed into a patty.
- Split mixture into 12 equal portions and shape into patties.
- Heat oil in frying pan over medium heat, add the potato pancakes in a single layer with space between them for turning, and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden.
- Remove patties and keep in a warm place and fry the remaining pancakes till done.
- Serve warm with chutney, sour cream, scrambled eggs, etc.
To Make in Air Fryer
- Add leftover potatoes into a large bowl. Add all other ingredients to the mashed potatoes and mix until combined. If mixture is a little loose, add a tablespoon of cornstarch at a time until it can hold its shape when formed into a patty.
- Split into 12 equal portions and shape into potato patties.
- Preheat Air Fryer and place the potato patties into the Air Fryer Basket.
- Air fry for about 10 minutes until golden brown and crispy, flipping over halfway through cooking time.
Notes
- Don’t crowd the basket of the air fryer. You need to leave plenty of space between each patty for the hot air to circulate for maximum crispiness and even cooking.
- Thinner patties make crispier cakes.
- Spritz some oil on these if you want them to be golden crispy.
- If you are interested, you can learn how to Preheat Your Air Fryer. or when Do You Oil an AirFryer.
- Air fryer temperatures can vary depending on the make and model. I recommend starting with less cook time, checking for doneness, then adding more time as needed.
- Storage - keep leftover potato pancakes in an airtight container inside the fridge for up to 3 days.
- There is 1 WW Blue Plan SmartPoint in one serving of this.
