Directions

30 min.
1. Step

In a large bowl, combine mashed potatoes, egg, flour, green onions, and grated cheddar cheese. Make sure to mix the ingredients well until a sticky dough is formed. For better flavor, I recommend using leftover mashed potatoes, they already have added flavors like butter, cream or garlic that make these pancakes extra tasty.

2. Step

Season the mixture with salt and pepper, and stir until everything is properly incorporated. Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings to your liking, these pancakes are forgiving.

3. Step

Scoop approximately 1/4 cup of the potato mixture and form it into a pancake shape. For uniformity, I always use a 1/4-cup measuring cup to ensure all pancakes are equal size.

4. Step

Dust each pancake lightly with flour. This step essentials to keep the pancakes from sticking to the pan and adds a delightful crust on the outside.

5. Step

Heat vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add pancakes and cook about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan for easier flipping and crispier outcome.

6. Step

Serve hot, with your favorite toppings like sour cream, extra cheese, or bacon bits.
