Yield:
10 pancakes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups mashed potatoes

  • ¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese

  • 1 large egg, beaten

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup all-purpose flour as needed (Optional)

Directions

  1. Mix potatoes, cheese, beaten egg, and salt in a medium bowl until well combined. If the mixture is very wet, mix in flour as needed to bind mixture together.

  2. Melt butter on a large griddle over medium heat. Drop potato mixture onto the hot griddle, 1/4 cup at a time. Flatten each pancake with the back of a spatula to 1/2-inch thickness. Fry until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Serve hot.

Recipe Tip

For a sweeter version, substitute the cheese with a tablespoon of sugar and serve with maple syrup.

Test Kitchen Tip
