CHEESY LEFTOVER MASHED POTATO PANCAKES

Provided by Kelly Senyei

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cups chilled leftover mashed potatoes
2/3 cup shredded Cheddar
2 tablespoons chopped scallions, green and white parts, plus more for garnish
1 large egg, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Vegetable oil, for pan-frying
Kosher salt
Sour cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Combine the mashed potatoes, cheese, scallions, egg and 3 tablespoons of the flour in a large bowl (see Cook's Note). With your hands, divide the mixture into 12 portions. Roll each portion into a compact ball, and then flatten it into a pancake about 1/2-inch thick.
  • Put the remaining 1/2 cup flour in a shallow dish and carefully coat each pancake in the flour.
  • Heat 3 to 4 tablespoons of oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. (Add enough oil to thoroughly coat the bottom of the pan.)
  • Fry the pancakes, in batches, until they're golden brown and crispy on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes. Add more oil to the pan as needed between batches. (Do not overcrowd the pan and do not flip the pancakes too soon or they won't develop a crisp crust.) Transfer the pancakes to a paper towel-lined plate and immediately sprinkle them with salt.
  • Serve the potato pancakes topped with sour cream and garnished with additional chopped scallions.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 40m

Yield 22 pancakes, 22 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cups potatoes, mashed
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 large egg
1/4 cup flour (or up to 1/2 cup flour for creamier potatoes)
2 -3 tablespoons chives, chopped
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup canola oil, to saute
sour cream, to serve

Steps:

  • Time Saving Tip: Use a trigger release ice cream scoop, scraping the scoop against the side of the bowl to quickly and easily create uniform patties.
  • n a large mixing bowl, combine 4 cups mashed potatoes, 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, 1 large egg, ¼ cup flour and 2 Tbsp chopped chives. Use a potato masher to mash the mixture together until well mixed. If the potatoes are too loose to hold a patty shape, add flour a Tablespoon at a time.
  • Place a heaping tablespoonful of potato mixture between your palms and form into a round, ⅓" thick patty. Dredge both sides of the pancake in bread crumbs and set on a cutting board. Repeat with remaining pancakes.
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat with enough oil to lightly cover the bottom of the pan. Once oil is hot, add patties in a single layer and sauté 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown. Repeat with remaining patties, adding more oil as needed.
  • Recipe works best with mashed potatoes that aren't super creamy. If they are very moist, you may need a little more flour for them to hold a patty shape. Do not use instant mashed potatoes.

Tips:

  • Save time by using pre-made mashed potatoes.
  • For extra crispy pancakes, use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet or griddle.
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the skillet or griddle, or the pancakes will not cook evenly.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately, topped with your favorite toppings.
