Potato Leftover Pancakes (Printable Version)
Whip up crunchy spud cakes from extras with cheese and green onions.
# Ingredients Required:
01 -
3 cups cold leftover potato mash
02 -
2/3 cup grated cheddar cheese
03 -
2 tablespoons diced scallions, both green and white bits
04 -
1 egg, slightly beaten
05 -
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons plain flour, split up
06 -
Vegetable oil, for frying
07 -
Sour cream, for topping
# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
Throw the potato mash, grated cheese, diced scallions, egg, and 3 tablespoons flour into a big bowl. Stir everything until it's well blended.
02 -
Split the mix into 12 equal bits with your hands. Make each bit into a small ball, then squish it down to form a cake about 1/2 inch thick.
03 -
Put the other 1/2 cup flour in a flat dish. Roll each cake in the flour until they're totally covered.
04 -
Pour 3 to 4 tablespoons oil into a big frying pan over medium heat, making sure the whole bottom is covered with oil.
05 -
Fry the cakes in batches until they're golden and crunchy on both sides, roughly 3 to 4 minutes per side. Don't crowd the pan and wait long enough before flipping them.
06 -
Put the cooked cakes on a paper towel plate and sprinkle salt on them right away. Serve with a dollop of sour cream and extra scallion bits on top.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
If your mix seems too dry, add another egg. If it's too sticky, put in more flour one spoon at a time.
