Transform your leftover mashed potatoes into crispy and fluffy pancakes that are perfect for any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups cold leftover mashed potatoes
  • 3 tablespoons milk of choice
  • Butter or more oil for cooking
  • For serving: sour cream, chives, or maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Whisk the eggs until smooth, creating a fluffy base for your batter.
  2. Mix in the olive oil, baking powder, and kosher salt until blended.
  3. Sprinkle in the flour and gently stir until just combined, being cautious not to overmix. A few lumps are perfectly fine!
  4. Fold in the leftover mashed potatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, and milk, creating a luscious batter that’s packed with flavor.
  5. Preheat a lightly buttered skillet over medium-low heat, ensuring it’s nice and warm before the batter hits the pan.
  6. Pour ¼ cup of batter into the skillet. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown, then flip over and cook until set.
  7. Keep the pancakes warm in a low-heat oven while you finish the rest.
  8. Serve your crispy pancakes with your choice of toppings—sour cream and chives for savory goodness or a drizzle of maple syrup for something sweet!

Notes

Patience is key! Cooking on medium-low heat ensures the pancakes are cooked through without burning.
