Mashed Potato Pancakes

Mashed Potato Pancakes

These easy Mashed Potato Pancakes are melt in your mouth good and go perfect with a side of applesauce or sour cream. To get those perfectly crispy edges and soft middles for these, be sure you cook these in a thin layer of oil. Too much oil and your cakes could be a little soggy. Also, letting the mashed potatoes chill for about an hour before you cook them helps the mixture stick together. I promise your family will love this recipe so much, you might find yourself making extra mashed potatoes just so you can make these with the leftovers!
