Ingredients
-
¼ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
-
1 egg, whisked
-
7 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided
-
Butter or oil, for pan-searing
Instructions
-
In a medium bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, Parmesan cheese, egg, and 3 tablespoons of flour. Stir until well combined.
-
Scoop out portions of the potato mixture and shape each into a patty.
-
Place the remaining 4 tablespoons of flour on a plate.
-
Lightly coat each potato patty in the flour, shaking off any excess.
-
Heat a thin layer of butter or oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat.
-
Cook the potato pancakes for about 3 minutes per side, or until golden and lightly crisp.
-
Serve warm on their own or with applesauce, sour cream, or your favorite accompaniment.
Notes
-
Use cold, firm mashed potatoes for easier shaping.
-
If the mixture feels too soft, chill it briefly before forming the patties.
-
Keep the patties relatively even in thickness so they cook at the same rate.
-
Avoid overcrowding the pan so the pancakes can brown properly.
