This is a great recipe for leftover mashed potatoes. I never liked reheated mashed potatoes, but if you fry them in a pan as a potato pancake, they taste delicious. You might need to adjust the ingredients depending on how much mashed potatoes you have left over.
Ingredients
- potatoes: 2 cups (mashed)
- egg: 1 piece
- ground black pepper: 1 tsp
- dry bread crumbs: 0.25 cup (or as needed)
- oil: 1 Tbsp
- butter: 1 Tbsp

Stages of cooking
-
Combine mashed potatoes, egg, and pepper in a bowl and mix well together.
-
Pour bread crumbs into a small bowl. Shape potato mixture into 3-inch patties with wet hands and dip in bread crumbs so they are evenly coated.
-
Heat oil and butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat and cook potato cakes on both sides until they are heated through and browned, about 4 minutes per side.
