Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups leftover mashed potatoes
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon onion juice, just grate the onion into the potato mixture
  • 2 Tablespoons breadcrumbs
  • 1 Tablespoon butter

Method
 

  1. Heat butter in large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add beaten egg and onion juice and mix. Slowly add breadcrumbs starting with 1 Tablespoon. Add breadcrumbs until potato mixture is thick enough to form a ball about the size of a golf ball.
  3. Smash ball to form a 2 inch in diameter pancake, and gently add to the hot oil.
  4. Fry until golden brown, approximately 2-3 minutes. Do not move or flip until completely golden brown. You will see the crust forming around the edge of the pancake.
