Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 cups Mashed Potatoes with Cream Cheese
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup flour
- salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat about 1/4 inch olive oil in a frying pan to medium heat.
- Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl. This will be the consistency of thick pancake batter.
- Drop batter into hot oil and fry until golden brown. I prefer smaller pancakes and use about 1/4 cup batter per pancake.
- Remove from oil and place on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Serve warm with sour cream and/or apple sauce.
