Ingredients
4
cups
left over mashed potatoes
2
eggs
1/4
cup
flour
4
tablespoons
butter
Instructions
Beat the 2 eggs with the flour in a mixing bowl.
Mix with the left over mashed potatoes and stir until combined.
Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the butter to the skillet and spread it around with a spatula.
Spoon the mashed potatoes by 1/4 cup on the skillet. Flatten the mixture out until it's approximately 1/2 inch thick.
Cook for 3-4 minutes until browned.
Then flip and smash the potato cake down so it flattens more and the cook the other side for 3-4 more minutes until the other side is browned.
Remove from the skillet. Serve warm topped with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
Notes
Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
You can also easily make these mashed potato cakes on an electric skillet.
