Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
• 2 cups cold mashed potatoes
• 0.125 teaspoon garlic powder

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place potatoes, eggs, flour, and garlic powder in a bowl; mix well. If your mashed potatoes are on the wet side, add 1 tablespoon of flour at a time until you reach a better consistency for shaping. Shape potato mixture into one large pancake on a lightly oiled plate.

Step 2

Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Slide potato pancake into the skillet, pressing with a spatula to flatten evenly. Cover and cook until bottom is crispy, about 8 to 10 minutes.

Step 3

To cook the other side, slide pancake onto a serving plate. Cover with another plate and flip. Slide pancake back into the skillet and cook until crispy, about 3 to 5 minutes. Slice into wedges and serve hot, garnished with fresh chives.
