Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups mashed potatoes
  • 2/3 cup shredded cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tbs chopped parsley
  • Pinch of salt and black pepper

  • 2 garlic cloves minced

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, stir together the mashed potatoes, cheese, scallions, egg and 3 tablespoons flour until combined.
    Then divide the mixture into 8 portions. Roll each portion into a ball and flatten it into a pancake about a 1/2-inch-thick.
  •  Heat large nonstick skillet to medium-high heat, add 2 teaspoons butter and 2 teaspoons oil to the hot skillet. Place some bread crumbs in a shallow dish and dredge each pancake.
  • Fry the potato pancakes, in batches, until they're golden brown and crispy on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Serve with a dollop of sour cream, or Ranch dressing.
    DELICIOUS!!!
