Can't remember how to make mashed potato pancakes
Heya folks,
I grew up having mashed potato pancakes from the leftover mashed potatoes. I want to make some now... Only thing is..I really can't remember how my mother did it.... I know I have tried before..but mine always fell apart..and/or were too gloppy.... My mother's always got nice and crisp..and kept their shape. I think she must have added some onion or something like that.... Not sure what else. So how do you all make mashed potato pancakes that are nice and crispy on the outside..and hold their shape well?

Grated cheese can be added to mashed potatoes and formed into small cakes and baked. -- JL |

She lets them sit in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before frying them. That allows everything to bind together so they don't fall apart when they're fried. |

They were always my favourite as a kid, served with bacon and egg or cauliflour cheese! Sarah |

I think you need to consider how much mashed potato you have and what one egg will do to it. If they are loose, you may have to consider adding some flour to bind. If I just had a little 1-2 cups of it.... I'd consider just adding some grated cheese and frying it up that way. Not traditional, but it appeals to me. -- See return address to reply by email |

I usually add at least 1 egg some green onion and some minced garlic |

The local Z'Tejas has taken to serving mashies with one side seared.
Tasty, but dangerous. Let just one serving get left to burn instead of brown, and the whole restaurant will know. --Blair |

My mother's always got nice and crisp..and kept their > shape. [snip] I think it depends on how you made the mashed potatoes. When I just use milk or half and half I can make patties that hold together without any additions. When I use sour cream instead of milk the patties won't hold together. I don't try to make patties from them, but if I did I would try adding a beaten egg and then a little flour. -aem |

Use an egg wash on the outside, then coat lightly with fine cracker crumbs/matzo meal. See full explanation in thread from a couple-three days ago about how to prepare mashed potatoes in advance.

I've only made them once... but I added a beaten egg, a generous helping of grated cheese, and some breadcrumbs. They came out soft on the inside but crispy on the outside and they were delicious. |

She used chopped onion and a beaten egg. Everybody in the family absolutely l-o-v-e-d them but I found them way too greasy for my palate. Oh well, the rest enjoyed them and there were never any left. |

Depends on the quantity of leftover mashed potatoes, but I always add at least one beaten egg to the mix and yes, dust them lightly with flour. Also chill them for a while to set before frying them.
