Mashed Potato Pancakes

An easy way to use up leftover mashed potatoes is to make pancakes. Make sure you use a non-stick pan; I used cast-iron.

olive oil or canola oil

Form hamburger-sized patties with mashed potatoes - the thinner the better. Heat a swirl of oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add two or three patties to the pan at a time. Cook until golden brown. Carefully flip over and cook the second side until golden brown. Remove from pan and serve immediately with ketchup or sour cream.
