I’ve been having a craving for some comfort food in the form of potato pancakes. After searching for some recipes as a guide, and being unable to settle on just one type, I decided to try two different ones with different varieties of potatoes. Both were appetizing, but completely different in texture, so I’ll let you decide which you like better!
 |
| Garlic Mashed Potato Pancakes |
 |
| Hashbrown Potato Pancakes |
Garlic mashed potato pancakes
2 cups garlic mashed potatoes
2 eggs
1/4 cup flour
salt and pepper to taste
optional add ins: onions, chives, cheese
optional toppings: sour cream or applesauce
If you have leftover mashed potatoes, this would be the perfect recipe to use them up, OR you can cheat like I did, and use the boxed kind.
Mix your leftover mashed potatoes (or make up the boxed kind, enough to equal 2 cups), with the eggs, flour, salt and pepper and anything else you like.
Heat your frying pan, and either spray generously with cooking spray or use 2 Tablespoons of oil, and drop 1/4 cup for each pancake, and fry for a couple of minutes on both sides until golden brown.
Serve with your choice of toppings and enjoy!
Hashbrown Potato Pancakes
3 cups refrigerated hashbrowns (or the frozen ones, thawed and drained)
2 Tablespoons flour
2 eggs
3 Tablespoons melted butter
1 1/2 teaspoons water
1/2 teaspoon salt
 |
| The refrigerated ones save a step in preparation which is always nice. |
Mix all the ingredients well. Heat your frying pan, and either spray generously with cooking spray or use 2 Tablespoons of oil, and drop 1/3 cup for each pancake into the pan and fry for a couple of minutes on both sides until golden brown.
Serve with your favorite toppings and enjoy!

I like the hash brown approach. My mother used to make potato pancakes and I have never been able to replicate hers, so I am going to use your idea. I’m hungry already.

I’m making them today. I have leftover mashed potatoes. Mmm. Thank you for the recipe.
Wehttp://simpleesue.com/try-one-new-recipe-a-week-best-pa-dutch-apple-dumplings may have met by chance…but we become friends by choice.
Mmmm… Both of these recipes sound wonderful! Can you go wrong with potatoes? I don’t think so! -Marci @ Stone Cottage Adventures
Yum, both of the versions look so delicious!! Please share at Foodtastic Friday!
Too bad they don´t sell these ready to whip stuff here. In order to make mine I´ll have to start from scratch. Nonetheless, I´ll give them a try. They must be awsome for a Thanksgiving brunch. Thanks for sharing
We love Potato Cakes and your recipe looks great! Have a great weekend and thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday.
Come Back Soon!
