Mashed Potato Pancakes

Ingredients

4 cups of mashed potatoes
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon minced Italian parsley
1 tablespoon minced chives
2 teaspoons vegetable oil

Directions

1. In a large bowl, add the mashed potatoes and mix in the flour, beaten eggs, cheese, parsley and chives. Transfer to the fridge to chill for 30 minutes to an hour.

2. In a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat, heat the oil. When the oil is hot, drop balls (I like to use a cookie scoop) of the mashed potato mixture and flatten it slightly using your hands or the back of the cookie scoop. Cook for about 3 minutes on the first side and then flip, cooking on the opposite side for another 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat until you’ve worked your way through all of the mashed potatoes.

3. Serve with a side of cranberry sauce and garnish with chives.
