This is a perfect recipe for the holiday season because you most likely will be sent home with left over mashed potatoes from a Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner this year!
These potato pancakes are good for breakfast, lunch or dinner. You can pour gravy over them, dip in sour cream or ranch. You can leave the cheese out and they are still delicious. You can also add whatever spices to change up the flavour.
Try these savoury mashed potato pancakes with our Spiced Up Roast Chicken Recipe and serve those with a Sour Cream Carrot side!
This is also a fantastic breakfast side. Try this easy Oven Baked Bacon recipe and side with your favourite egg style!
