whenever i have leftover mashed potatoes, i start drooling when i think about making potato pancakes. they're so simple & good. and i pretend they're good for me. because potato is a vegetable. right?
In a large skillet or on a griddle, heat vegetable oil/butter (i use both- about 3 tblsp or so) over medium-high heat. Dollop batter onto the heated surface in heaping tablespoons like pancakes). Flatten each dollop slightly with the spoon to create the cakes.
Cooking time = golden brown on each side. So eyeball it- anywhere from 2-4 minutes or so.
i like to eat them straight up- or with eggs over easy & cheese. or anything for that matter- they're awesome.
