These mashed potato pancakes are the BEST way to use up leftover mashed potatoes! I don’t know about you, but I’m happy eating leftover mashed potatoes for exactly one day after a holiday meal. Beyond that, I have to transform them into something new if I have any hope of polishing them off.
That’s why I started making these mashed potato pancakes. The recipe takes smooth, creamy mashed potatoes and turns them into delicious, golden little cakes. They’re crispy on the outside, fluffy in the middle, and packed with savory, oniony flavor. Make a batch, and your holiday leftovers will be gone before you know it.
