What to do with a tub of left-over mashed taters?

chop some  pickled japs and shred some pepperjack.

mix the taters

get some seasoned flour  ( cayenne, paprika, s&p, chili powder,  which is also my flour recipe for anything I fry)  egg, and panko bread crumbs ready.

I found it easiest to form the balls in the flour then into the egg then into the crumbs then into a nice hot oil bath.

These things came out delicious!!!  you could put anything you want in them.  Next time they will definatly have bacon in them.
 
Great recipe! We do potato pancakes all the time. We will try your recipe next time! Thank-you!
 
ate them like candy all afternoon.  next time will be some smoked cheese and bacon in them.
 
i make my potatoe pancakes w/ instant potatoes. But they have to sit overnight in the fridge before adding eggs , milk and flour or they won't work.

Top those off with some smoked salt and some fresh Parmesan cheese too. Love potato pancakes in any form
 
Love potato cakes. the problem is there are never any leftover mashed potatos at my house.
That's the exact same problem I have! LOL

My two girls will "snack" on my left over mashed potatos and gravy, after school. Then I come home and think "Hey! I have left over mashed potatos and gravy, I'll make a shepards pie for dinner"...... NOT!

I make a simpler version of these all the time (including this morning) with leftover instant taters.  I like the breading idea as well as the additional ingredients.  We usually just add some chopped, grilled onions...

Great post!  Somehow we gotta get some smoke on these (other than the smoked bacon & cheese!!)  Hmmmmm......
