Make crispy mashed potato pancakes that stay fluffy inside in a snap with leftover mashed potatoes. I like to make one large potato pancake and slice it into wedges, but you can make individual-sized potato pancakes, which are easier to flip, if you prefer.

Ingredients

  • ½ cups cold mashed potatoes: 1 piece
  • potato starch or cornstarch: 4 Tbsp
  • egg, lightly: 1 piece (beaten)
  • kosher salt: 0.75 tsp
  • ground black pepper: 0.25 tsp
  • garlic powder: 0.25 tsp
  • fresh chives: 2 tsp (divided, thinly sliced)
  • olive oil, plus 1 teaspoon olive oil: 1 Tbsp (divided)
  • cooking spray:

  1. Mix together mashed potatoes, potato starch, egg, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of the chives in a medium bowl until combined. The mixture should be slightly sticky but not loose.

  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot and oil is fragrant. Spoon potato mixture into skillet and press it into an even layer to create a potato pancake about 9 inches in diameter.

  3. Reduce heat to medium; cover skillet with a lid or flat cookie sheet and cook, giving skillet a 90-degree turn every 2 to 3 minutes, until golden brown around the edges and top of pancake feels almost dry to the touch, 8  to 9 minutes.
