Chef notes

Take yesterday's mashed potatoes from boring to brilliant by turning them into cheesy, crispy potato pancakes. Use these to make sandwiches, serve them up as another savory side or a wonderful snack all on their own.

Ingredients

  • TK heaping cups mashed potatoes
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • Salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped flat leaf parsley, plus more for garnish
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated mozzarella
  • Oil, for frying
  • Milk, as needed
  • Sour cream (optional)

3.

Pour 1/4 cup batter into hot pan; brown on both sides.

4.
