Hey, is your name Dan Quail? lol.





Anyways, You need leftover mashed potatoes, and the recipe really depends on how much moisture you have in them, and how much you have left.





I would say about 4 cups of day old mashed potatoes


1/4 to a 1/2 cup of flour


1 to 2 eggs


a 1/2 of a minced onion


sliced green onions





Mix everything together, and fry them up in veggie oil. The mixture needs to be a little on the dry side, but not to where it breaks apart too easily. You want it to be able to hold it's shape still.





Use an ice cream scooper to scoop them out, and drop it in the oil. Cook it for about a minute, and then flip it over, and press it down to about a 1/4 of an inch thick. Cook for 5-6 minutes an a medium high, then flip it over and cook another 5 minutes or so, until both sides are a golden brown. Drain them on a paper towl.





When they get crispy, then they are done. Put on a plate with some sour cream and a little more green onion over the top, and you'll look like a professional chef.I need a recipe for mashed potatoe pancakes ?

My Mom used to make 'em with Bisquik (almost like flour), egg, and diced onion. mix it all together (it's supposed to be kinda dry, but will still hold the shape of a patty), and fry them up in butter. Serve with salt and pepper. Yum.
I just add a little flour if they are wet and an egg to bind,chopped onion and pepper.Add enough flour to be able to form a pattie.Fry in a little oil til crisp on both sides.
I just mix in some onions or peppers and salt and pepper and shape some into a little flat cake and fry it in a little oil. You could also add cheese!
