So, with the holidays freshly behind us, I know many of you have lots of left over mashed potatoes. Now, of course, you could just eat them like that, but why bother? No, for my entry to this meme, I'm going to teach you how to turn those left over mashed potatoes into a delicious snack! It's time for....
Potato Pancakes (Latkes for the non-gentile)
2 cups mashed potatoes (approximately)
2 eggs
1/4 cup flour
2 T minced garlic
2 T minced onion
salt & pepper, to taste
oil, for frying
Mix the eggs, flour, garlic, onion, salt, & pepper into mashed potatoes. Stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until everything is all nice and mixed. (Make sure the mix is not too thin... If it is, add a little bit more flour. Also, feel free to play around with the onions and garlic. If, like me, you LOVE the garlic, you can add more. This recipe is more of a guide, really, to help you out until you get the basics down & can customize it yourself!)
Preheat your skillet or griddle and add a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil for frying.
Scoop about 1/8 cup of the potato mix onto the pan, and then flatten slightly with the spatula or the back of a spoon. Brown the pancake on both sides (Once the griddle is hot, this should only take 3-4 minutes each side) and enjoy!
Now, there's many ways of eating these. If you were to order these in IHOP, for example, they'd give you some ketchup and sometimes some hot sauce. Nothing wrong with this, but let's widen some horizons, shall we?
Next up, if you ordered these in a new York Style Deli, more than likely you would get these with either some apple sauce on top (Which is all right, IMO), or topped with sour cream, chives, and possibly even cheese in some areas.
The point is, try it with whatever you want on these. Personally, I like crumbled feta and avocado slices on my pancakes that usually have about 2 cloves of garlic per pancake, is that so wrong? Oy, what's with the dirty looks? Now shoo, I have baking to do, and you all have pancakes to make!
