Potato Pancake Recipe
Easy potato pancakes are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or as a side. They have crispy golden edges and a cheesy center!
Servings: 12 pancakes
Ingredients
- 3 cups mashed potatoes
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- salt and pepper to taste to taste
- vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Preheat a large frying pan or griddle to medium heat.
- If your potatoes are cold from the fridge, I recommend warming them up slightly and giving them a second mash or beating with an electric mixer so they're easier to work with.
- In a large bowl add the mashed potatoes, eggs, flour, cheese, parsley, salt and pepper.
- Stir the ingredients together.
- Grease the frying pan/skillet lightly.
- Form the dough into patties about 1/4 cup of batter each. Flatten the patty between your palms.
- Fry on the one side until golden (about 3-5 minutes), then flip and fry on the second side until golden.
Notes
*If your potatoes were already seasoned quite heavily, you may not need the salt & pepper.
