This recipe was created from our mound of leftover mashed potatoes from Thanksgiving! It's so easy and delicious! Even my picky son that eats only 15 things had 5 pancakes! Drizzle a bit more sesame oil over the pancakes for that extra splash of flavor. Great as a side dish to anything, and another alternative to potato latkes!

Ingredients

  • leftover mashed potatoes: 2 cups
  • all-purpose flour: 0.5 cup
  • eggs: 2 piece
  • sesame oil: 2 tsp (divided)
  • salt and ground white pepper: (to taste)
  • vegetable oil: 1 Tbsp
  • scallions: 4 piece (chopped)
  • vegetable oil: 0.25 cup (or as needed)

  1. Mix mashed potatoes, flour, eggs, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, salt, and white pepper together in a medium mixing bowl. The mixture should be a little doughy, enough to form a ball in your palm.

  2. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Saute scallions in the hot oil until soft, about 5 minutes. Fold into the potato mixture until combined.

  3. Heat enough vegetable oil in the frying pan to cover by 1/4 inch and add a drizzle of remaining sesame oil.

  4. Form balls of potato mixture using a 1/4 cup measure and flatten into pancakes. Gently place into the hot oil in batches and cook until browned on both sides and somewhat firm, about 5 minutes. Transfer pancakes to a paper towel-lined plate to soak up excess oil. Repeat with remaining mixture, adding more vegetable oil and sesame oil before frying each batch. Transfer to a platter and serve hot.
