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

Instructions

1. 1
   In a large bowl, add the mashed potatoes and mix in the flour, beaten egg, cheese, parsley and chives. Transfer to the fridge to *chill for 30 minutes to an hour.
2. 2
   In a medium non-stick skillet, set over medium heat, add the oil. When the oil is hot, drop mounts (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. 3
   Serve with a side of cranberry sauce and garnish with chives.
