This recipe was created from our mound of leftover mashed potatoes from Thanksgiving! It’s so easy and delicious! Even my picky son that eats only 15 things had 5 pancakes! Drizzle a bit more sesame oil over the pancakes for that extra splash of flavor. Great as a side dish to anything, and another alternative to potato latkes!
Ingredients
- 2 cups leftover mashed potatoes
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil, divided
- salt and ground white pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 4 large scallions, chopped
- ¼ cup vegetable oil, or as needed
Directions
Step 1
Mix mashed potatoes, flour, eggs, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, salt, and white pepper together in a medium mixing bowl. The mixture should be a little doughy, enough to form a ball in your palm.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Saute scallions in the hot oil until soft, about 5 minutes. Fold into the potato mixture until combined.
Step 3
Heat enough vegetable oil in the frying pan to cover by 1/4 inch and add a drizzle of remaining sesame oil.
Step 4
Form balls of potato mixture using a 1/4 cup measure and flatten into pancakes. Gently place into the hot oil in batches and cook until browned on both sides and somewhat firm, about 5 minutes. Transfer pancakes to a paper towel-lined plate to soak up excess oil. Repeat with remaining mixture, adding more vegetable oil and sesame oil before frying each batch. Transfer to a platter and serve hot.
Cook’s Notes:
You can use substitute the cooking oil of your choice for vegetable oil.
