We love potato cakes. I always use leftover mashed potatoes to make these little cakes. They are great as appetizers with Honey Mustard Sauce or Salsa, for breakfast or just anytime.
2 cups mashed potatoes
1 egg
1 small onion or several green onions, chopped
1/4 teaspoon black pepper (can use cayenne)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup oil for frying
Mix all ingredients except the oil into the potatoes. Make into patties. Fry in hot oil until browned on both sides. Makes about 12 patties. Enjoy!
Note: Can add chopped bacon or ham and shredded cheese.

Oh goodness. Our friends just got a deep fryer. Look at those. We get to have some fun next week.
MMMM! These are true comfort food for me…my mama made them often when I was growing up. Thanks for the reminder….my mouth is watering already. =)
My grandmother would make a similar recipe that she grilled on her cast iron pan but she would also add some chopped up remains from any fish that they’d had for dinner the night before, usually haddock. Neither a mashed potato fan nor a fish fan but I know these were a family favorite and being thrifty New Englanders they wisely used up all the leftovers. We may hail from different regions but I say we have more similarities than differences!
