Potato Pancakes Two Ways

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

  • 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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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
