I used this recipe as a sounding board for a way for my vegetarian daughter to enjoy a similar dinner as the rest of the family, on a night I was making Crab cakes. I used sweet potatoes and added green onion, curry powder, salt and pepper with only a tablespoon of flour and one egg. Mixed together and then coated them in panko and fried them in olive oil until crispy. She sprinkled them with Louisiana hot sauce and said they were delish and would make them again at her house.

I added some ricotta when I mixed it! Got rid of my leftover cheese and mashed potatoes and it went very well with bbq ribs.

this recipe is very similar to an old German one I grew up with.... the only thing My grandmother and mother did different was no nutmeg in the recipe and the pancakes taste best topped with apple sauce. I will try this recipe out and see if it tastes like my grandma's.

My son and I made these for a quick late night dinner. I had been looking for a long time for a good recipe and this is it. I did make a couple of changes. I omitted the corn syrup and nutmeg. I also added 1/4 cup parmesan cheese. These turned out perfect. We topped them with sour cream and I am planning on making another batch right now. We used left over pancakes for a modified eggs benedict. We topped them with canadian bacon, poached egg, and hollandaise sauce. So delicious.

I made these in a pinch with instant potatoes and everyone enjoyed them. I omitted the spices and corn syrup and added a bit of extra milk and green onion in addition to the white onion and some onion powder, since my husband loves these oniony.

I made the potato cakes with left over potatoes in my fridge. My family loved them and with everything that you add to them I had left over batter to make more in the next couple of days. They were definately a hit. They were spectacular served with some sour cream!

I made these to use leftover mashed potatoes. I followed the recipe except I needed to add more milk for a better consistency. They were okay, but I would not make extra mashed potatoes just to have them.

This was fantastic *****! Made it with left over garlic mashed potatoes from turkey dinner for Christmas morning breakfast, it is just the boyfriend and myself so I cut the recipe in half and also had to use margarine rather then shortening because I did not have any on hand. I also used half whipping cream and half milk. ummm so good.
