Potato Pancakes...

I know my kids will laugh when they hear I made Potato Pancakes. I am sure they have never heard of them. I have never mentioned them before......But the other day when I made too many mashed potatoes I thought at the time I am going to make some potato pancakes out of those..My Mama would make potato pancakes when I was a girl. I never helped Mom cook so I was not quiet sure how she made them....I took the leftover mashed potatoes..(That part is correct)...added an egg and some flour....mixed well and fried in a skillet with a little oil.....mama may have used some corn meal to roll them in I do not remember. I do not even remember liking them really well but I thought....once before I die...We ate them for dinner and supper and probably with beans like we ate everything....So sisters what did I leave out???

mama didn't use flour just eggs and mashed potatoes.

I chop up onion in mine and add black pepper and a t. of sugar. I use cornmeal instead of flour. Granny Renfroe did it like that....just a little corn meal.

Gosh, I had forgotten about potato pancakes. Used to love them and now you have me wanting to try.
Got to admit, sister 3's sounds really good. Thanks for the reminder.

the way you made them is exactly how I make them and Astrid likes them. I always think they never taste like my mommas and now I know why....cornmeal

I never seem to have any left over mashed potatoes anymore. But I use to use just egg, salt and pepper in mine. I tried adding some flour once, but didn 't care that much for them. Yours along with the tomatoes look really delicious.

Happy week-end.
