Mashed Potato Pancakes
Serves 6-8
2 cups mashed potatoes
1 large egg, beaten lightly
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
11/2 tablespoons grated onion
2 tablespoons chives
Salt and pepper
Vegetable oil, for frying
Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. In a bowl combine well the
potatoes and the egg, stir in the flour thoroughly, and stir in the
onion, chives, and salt and pepper, to taste. In a large heavy skillet,
heat 1/8-inch of the oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but
not smoking. Fry heaping tablespoons of the potato mixture, flattening
them slightly with the back of the spoon, for 1 minute on each side, or
until they are golden brown. Transfer the pancakes as they are cooked
to paper towels to drain and if desired, keep them warm on a rack set
on a baking sheet in a preheated 250 degree F oven. Serve the pancakes
as an accompaniment to meat, poultry, or eggs.
