Good use of leftover mashed potatoes. I fried mine in bacon fat in a cast iron skillet. Also I rolled them into balls then dipped in bisquick before putting them into the pan and flattening them. Cooking them on medium high for 7 minutes burnt them on my electric stove though. Medium heat worked for me. I think I like potato pancakes with shredded potatoes more, but it's nice to have a use for leftovers!

These were delicious! I used 2 cups cold mashed potatoes and 2 eggs, plus 2 TBS flour per previous reviews. Italian seasoning didn't seem to fit with fried mashed potatoes? So I added finely minced garlic and green onion, crumbled cooked bacon, a handful of shredded cheese, salt, pepper and cayenne. My pancakes were essentially fully-loaded baked potatoes fried in a pan. Not something we will eat very often! I cooked mine in the leftover bacon grease. I turned the stove up to medium high to get the oil nice and hot and dropped them in by the spoonful and using the greased spatula I quickly shaped them in the pan and pressed down lightly to flatten to 1/2 - 3/4 inch thick. Then, turn the heat down to medium and leave them alone for eight minute. Gently flip and cook eight more minutes. I had no trouble keeping them together once they formed a nice crust. My husband inhaled them, the only problem is I didn't have more mashed potatoes!

I made this tonight with some very minor tweaks and they were delicious. I wouldn't do 8 minutes however. It was only about 3-4 minutes per side for me at low-medium heat in a cast iron skillet with olive oil.

I have made potato cakes before and had them be way too soft. A lot has to do with the condition of your mashed potatoes when you begin. If your potatoes are on the wetter side, then as others have suggested here, its a good idea to add some Italian seasoned bread crumbs. I used 2 cups of mashed - I had made sour cream and chive mashed potatoes. They had sat in the fridge overnight so they were not super moist, but moister than I wanted if I were to add the egg for binding. I added 1/4 cup bread crumbs along with some of the garlic powder and skipped the Italian seasoning since it was in the crumbs. Next time I might add some extra though as it wasn't as flavorful as I would have liked. I made these into potato bites/small plate/appy sized. I used a small cookie scoop and dropped the ball onto a plate coated with Italian bread crumbs. I coated the ball with crumbs and flattened the cake out some. Served with a small dollop of sour cream, some crispy bacon and fresh chopped chives. YUMMY!

These were easy to put together and harder to cook. I turned down the heat to 3.5. The potatoes soak up all the oil so mine stuck a little on the other side. I added in cheddar cheese, red onion and 2 slices of Bacon. Topped with sour cream.

I thought these were very tasty, yet they fell apart when I rotated them! Maybe I need to try a little more flour, but otherwise, YUM!!!! Thanks for the recipe!

My mom used to make these with left over mashed potatoes when I was young, and I loved them! Then my 2 little brothers came along and we never really had leftover potatoes again. I make these now for my husband and I. Really takes me back!
