Cheating at Potato Pancakes

These sound really good...I might even add a little chopped ham. I'll have to try making these this week...thanks for the suggestion. [b]~~AT PEACE WITHIN~~ **STAND STRONG AND TRUST IN GOD**[/b]

I too have made potatoe pancakes out of left over mashed potatoes. I fry mine in oil though. I put in minced onion and cheese once in a while. I have even added bacon to them once. Yum! But i do make them the old fashioned way with grating the potatoes and onions and adding in egg and flour to help bind then fry. It's okay to cheat and go easy route, it still comes out yummy!!

Same way except I use cheddar cheese and add garlic.

That sounds super easy and a good way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. I bet my kids would love them that way. The butter part sounds good to me!

When I was a youngster I'd watch my German grandma make them it's not quick and easy but this is the to do right! My opinion,and always get good comments, serve with Brats,Polish sausage, or other sausage of your choice. I take 6 or 8 med. potatoes and peel them. then grate them (the larger hole) in a bowl. use 1 med.yellow onion, peel and dice up not too small pcs. add 1 to2 table spoons flour 1 egg 1 table spoon cooking oil salt and pepper to your taste mix all in bowl on flat griddle use a little oil ( I use bacon grease when I have some) over med. to high heat 2 to 3 table spoons of mixture on to the griddle flatten and cook, this is a slow process about 2 to 3 minutes on each side. let drain on paper towel serve with sour cream salt to taste. Try em you'll love them!!! Good odd fashioned cooking!

Sounds great! I've go to try that!!
