I'm looking for recipes for Pancakes used from leftover Masher potatoes. I loved them so much and they were a childhood favorite. My Mother used to make them and she passed away at a very young age. I tried to recreate them mashed potatoes and grated onions. They were just Ok and bland. I of course added S/P. I fried them in butter. Can you please share your recipes for me. Please? Thanks ever so much.

Oh Wow Katey you brought back some memories for me also. My grandma added either Romano or Parmesan cheese, rolled them in breadcrumb and fried them. VERY dietetic! LOL My MIL adds some garlic powder to hers with the cheese. I suppose cheddar or any cheese would do. Now I want them!! LOL

cpn2jxp I remember these and they were so good. Since she is gone so is the recipe she used. My comes from Irish heritage and I think these come from that. she loved her St. Patrick's Holiday. I wish so much I had gotten her recipes early on. I'm teaching my youngest Son my recipes so he can enjoy and share with his Brother and Sister if they want them. I try to cook her recipes from memory which is getting bad. Thanks for sharing your ideas.

My grandmother used to make these and I loved them but when I try to make them they fall apart in the pan. I added egg to the potato mixture trying to hold it together but did not help. I know my grandmother did not do anything fancy but they were good.

My only experience is with latkes which of course use grated potatoes- anytime I have tried to make mashed potatoes pancakes, like the others' have said, they fall apart, I have tired adding egg, crumbs, flour etc, but maybe you are supposed to start with potatoes that have no butter milk etc added in the first place? (of course then you wouldn't really be using leftover mashed potatoes)
I have never tried it with just plain mashed, cooked potatoes with nothing added..cooked specifically for the purpose of making pancakes...

If you go to www.allrecipes.com and enter mashed potato pancakes into the search box, it brings up several recipes for these. I always read the comments to see what suggestions other people have to tweak each recipe to their liking.

You need to add a couple of tablespoons of flour. I think my mom only used egg white? and not whole egg and maybe just a touch of milk.
