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!

Ingredients
  • 2 cups mashed potatoes
  • 2 cups mashed potatoes

  • ¼ cup flour
  • ¼ cup flour
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
  1. Heat about ¼ inch olive oil in a frying pan to medium heat.
  2. Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl. This will be the consistency of thick pancake batter.
  3. Drop batter into hot oil and fry until golden brown. I prefer smaller pancakes and use about ¼ cup batter per pancake.

  5. Serve warm with sour cream and/or apple sauce.

Baked Sweet Potato Fries

One of my favorite pub snacks are sweet potato fries. This savory snack or side dish is the perfect accompaniment to a cool beer and a hearty sandwich. Why not reduce the guilt and enjoy this healthier, baked version at home? They are easy to make and so satisfying!
