Started by using leftover mashed potatoes. They work the best with this recipe!
- 2 Cups day old mashed potatoes
- 1 Cup flour (can use gluten free) + 4 tablespoons
- 1 Onion, grated
- 4 Eggs (2 for batter and 2 for dredging)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Vegetable oil
Mix mashed potatoes, 4 tablespoons flour, onion, 2 eggs, black pepper, and salt together in a bowl until well blended. You can add bacon bits, chives, or any other flavor you like! Form into thick round patties and refrigerate for about an hour on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper.
Dredge each patty into whisked eggs and then flour and then egg again and then flour to form a thick crust for skillet frying.
Heat vegetable oil (adequate amount of oil 1-1.5") in a skillet over medium/high heat. Place patties in hot oil. Cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining patties.
Serve with your favorite mustard!
