Ingredients

  • 4 cups cold mashed potatoes
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 2 eggs
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • oil for frying.

Instructions

  • Mix potatoes, eggs, and flour in a bowl (I squish it together with my hands).  If the potatoes are not sticky enough to form a patty add a little more flour.
  • Form into patties.
  • Place oil in the skillet, enough to lightly cover the bottom of the skillet, and add 2 tablespoons butter, heat to medium-high.
  • Fry patties in hot oil/butter until golden brown.  Serve warm.

Notes

Use 2 eggs regardless even if you are using less than 4 cups of mashed potatoes. It will help bind the patties.
