This is a toss-up. Latkes? I wouldn't call call them croquettes. If
anything they're fried hash browns shaped like little pancakes.
But since this subject drifted from some kind of croquettes to latkes,
then mashed spuds... I made mashed potato pancakes yesterday. Using
leftover mashed potatoes. Definitely needed an egg added for the binder.
