Mashed Potato Pancakes Southern Style Recipes

Steps:

• Mix mashed potatoes, egg, flour, salt, pepper, garlic, and any optional ingredients, into mashed potatoes.
• Preheat skillet and add a couple of tablespoons of Crisco shortening or oil.
• Make sure the mixture is not too thin.
• Pour 1/4 cup batter into hot pan; brown on both sides.
• Enjoy with sour cream or applesauce.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Warm the 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large (12-inch diameter) nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until tender and fragrant, about another 2 minutes. Season the onion mixture with salt and pepper. Transfer the onion mixture to a large bowl and set aside. Reserve the pan.
• Meanwhile, grate the potatoes in a food processor using the grating attachment blade. Use a kitchen towel to help squeeze out the water from the grated potatoes. Add the potatoes to the bowl with the onion mixture. Add the Parmesan and the basil. Stir to combine and season with additional salt and pepper, to taste.
• Warm the remaining olive oil over high heat in the same pan that was used to cook the onions. When the pan is hot, but not smoking add the potato mixture. Use a spatula to press the mixture down into the pan firmly and evenly. Turn the heat down to medium and cook the potato mixture until the bottom is golden brown and the pancake can move in the pan, about 12 to 15 minutes. Turn the heat down to medium-low if the pancake is browning too fast in places. Place a large plate on top of the pancake and flip the pancake out of the pan. Turn the heat on the pan back up to high. When the pan is hot slide the pancake back into the pan and cook until the bottom is golden and is cooked through, about 12 to 15 minutes. Slide the pancake onto a serving platter, slice, and serve.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together mashed potatoes, egg, and Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper and mix well to combine (mixture will look wet). In a large nonstick skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high.
• In batches, drop heaping spoonfuls of potato mixture into skillet, pressing with a spatula to flatten slightly. Cook until golden brown on bottom, about 3 minutes. Gently flip and cook until golden brown on other side, 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining potato mixture and more oil.

Steps:

• Combine mashed potatoes, egg, and pepper in a bowl and mix well together.
• Pour bread crumbs into a small bowl. Shape potato mixture into 3-inch patties with wet hands and dip in bread crumbs so they are evenly coated.
• Heat oil and butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat and cook potato cakes on both sides until they are heated through and browned, about 4 minutes per side.

Steps:

• In medium bowl combine all ingredients.
• Whisk together until combined well.
• Consistency should be similar to cornbread mixture.
• Heat skillet with a light layer of oil on medium-high heat.
• (Cast iron skillet browns beautifully).
• Spoon batter to form 3 1/2 to 4 inch rounds.
• Brown each side to a rich dark golden brown.
• Potato Pancakes should look like a thick regular pancake.
• Place on paper towel to drain excess oil.
• Don't stack on top of each other or the bottom pancakes will become soggy.

Steps:

• Combine potatoes, eggs, flour, and garlic powder in a bowl.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; fry potato mixture in skillet, pressing with a spatula to flatten evenly. Cover and cook until bottom is crispy, about 10 minutes; invert onto serving platter.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a large saucepan, combine the water, milk, butter, salt, cumin, and onion powder. As soon as the mixture comes to a boil, remove the saucepan from the heat and add the potato flakes; mix until smooth. Add the parsley and egg and mix again until smooth.
• Form the mixture into 8 equal-sized patties. Brush both sides with the oil and place on a large nonstick cookie sheet that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Bake for 25 minutes, turning once halfway through the cooking.
