Leftover Mashed Potato Pancakes

In talking with a well schooled woman of the culinary arts the results for this recipe are based on the cooks leftover mashed potatoes. Some women make them way to runny or rather they have too much liquid, while others make them dry. Rather than expressing disappointment in the recipe the best thing would be for the person making this dish to look at their ingredients. I followed the recipe to the letter and not problems. I even added onions to the mashed potatoes. Less eggs for watery mash ans more eggs for dry mash. They fry up very nicely and DO NOT fall apart. I stuffed mine with sausage. Great recipe

I have been trying to make leftover mashed potato cakes as good as my Mother's for years without success. This recipe hit the mark! I made it just as written adding 2 green onions finely chopped. My Mother always put a little nutmeg in hers and I was disappointed to find that I was out of it. Next time I make this I will be sure to have a bit of nutmeg. Thanks for posting such a great recipe.

I loved these as a kid and learned to make them by watching my mom. The amount of flour and eggs to use depends on how creamy or chunky your potato’s are.

My mother used to make these, and this recipe is very like hers (she never added cheese, though--don't know why, because adding cheese sounds yummy). These are great slathered with butter. Thanks for submitting it.
