Mashed Potato PancakesMy grandmother would always make mashed potato pancakes with our left over mashed potatoes, when I was young. This versatile recipe can be prepared for breakfast the next morning (as a replacement for hash browns), as an appetizer, side dish or a snack. Around grandma’s house they were usually made for an after dinner for an evening snack and never lasted very long.

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I have over the years!

Instructions
