Bonus pancake - Leftover Mashed Potato Pancakes

I mentioned in an earlier post that I bought a griddle for myself.  So as is the case with most new purchases, it has become my new favorite kitchen appliance.  I was feeling inspired so I decided to make some mashed potato pancakes using up the leftover spuds from our Thanksgiving dinner.  I've been feeling a little bored with the usual leftovers and heard about making pancakes out of mashed potatoes. So after some research, I came up with my own recipe.  They turned out pretty tasty, crispy on the outside and nice and soft on the inside. 

They're great on their own, as a side, or top them with your favorite holiday leftovers.  I topped mine with shredded turkey, gravy, and cranberry sauce.  Jó étvágyat!

Ingredients:
-1 cup mashed potatoes (mine had chopped chives in it)
-1 egg
-1 Tbsp flour
-Salt and pepper to taste
-Cooking spray or canola oil for griddle/pan

Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl.
2. Heat the griddle or pan over medium-high heat.  coat with either cooking spray for oil.  Spoon the mixture on to a hot griddle or pan, cook for approx. 4 minutes, or until it turns golden brown on the bottom.  Flip and flatten the pancakes a little with a spatula.  Cook for another 4 minutes.

3. Top with any leftovers you may have such as shredded turkey, stuffing, gravy, and cranberry sauce.
