(Do not overcrowd the pan and do not flip the pancakes too soon or they won't develop a crisp crust.) Transfer the pancakes to a paper towel-lined plate and immediately sprinkle them with salt.

CHEESY MASHED POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• Time Saving Tip: Use a trigger release ice cream scoop, scraping the scoop against the side of the bowl to quickly and easily create uniform patties.
• n a large mixing bowl, combine 4 cups mashed potatoes, 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, 1 large egg, ¼ cup flour and 2 Tbsp chopped chives. Use a potato masher to mash the mixture together until well mixed. If the potatoes are too loose to hold a patty shape, add flour a Tablespoon at a time.
• Place a heaping tablespoonful of potato mixture between your palms and form into a round, ⅓" thick patty. Dredge both sides of the pancake in bread crumbs and set on a cutting board. Repeat with remaining pancakes.
• Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat with enough oil to lightly cover the bottom of the pan. Once oil is hot, add patties in a single layer and sauté 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown. Repeat with remaining patties, adding more oil as needed.
• Recipe works best with mashed potatoes that aren't super creamy. If they are very moist, you may need a little more flour for them to hold a patty shape. Do not use instant mashed potatoes.

CHEESY LEFTOVER MASHED POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• POTATO PANCAKES
• In a large bowl, add all of the ingredients.
• Stir them all together to combine. Set aside and prep the sauce (if you're using this sauce, if you're not, go ahead and skip over to frying them in pan).
• AIOLI SAUCE
• In a medium bowl, add the sauce ingredients. Stir them all together and combine well. Taste and season with salt and pepper, as needed.Set out a medium bowl. Measure all the ingredients into the bowl.
• Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Refrigerate for up to 1 week.
• In a large bowl, mix all of the ingredients together until well combined.
• The mixture should be thick and should hold its shape. If it's not thick enough, add a tablespoon of flour at a time (depending on the consistency of your mashed potatoes)
• COOK POTATO PANCAKES
• Use an ice cream scoop or spoon, scoop out the mixture into 6 portions. Roll each portion into a ball and form it into patties or cakes which are about 1/2- inch in thickness.
• Place remaining flour in a shallow dish and dredge each pancake lightly in flour; set aside.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet (cast iron is great for this recipe if you have one) on medium heat. Make sure you use enough oil to coat the entire bottom of the pan (start with 4 tablespoons and if not enough, add a bit more).
• Add the potato pancakes into the hot oil, three at a time, don't overcrowd the pan. Gently flatten with the back of a rubber spatula.
• Cook the patties until bottom is browned and sides are set.
• Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes, until browned and cooked through.
• When you flip, be sure that the entire spatula is under the pancake. If you use just the front of the spatula you'll end up breaking the pancake as you flip it. You have to fully support the entire underside of the pancake to make a nice flip.
• Repeat with the rest of the patties .
• Serve immediately with the aioli sauce or sour cream (use your favorite dairy-free if you're dairy-free).
• These potato pancakes are best served hot. But they're also still delicious warm.

• While melting butter, in a large bowl, mix together (or mash together) mashed potatoes, milk, remaining 1 tbsp of butter (preferably melted and slightly cooled), cheese (if using) and the white pieces of sliced green onion.
• Using a 1/4 cup measure device (or ice cream scoop) add pancakes to heated pan and press down slightly to create a round shaped pancake that is about 1/4" thick.
• Cook without flipping for 10-12 minutes or when the bottom is golden brown and crispy. Allow the other side to cook for 8-10 minutes. Remove from pan and drain on a paper towel lined plate.

VEGAN POTATO PANCAKES (USING LEFTOVER MASH)

Steps:

• In a bowl, use a fork or spoon to loosen up the leftover mashed potatoes.
• Mix in the flour, nutritional yeast, baking powder, plant-based milk or water, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Stir together until all the ingredients are combined, then mix in the sliced spring onion. You should have a firm, fairly dry dough that keeps its shape, doesn't break apart, and can be easily moulded in your hands.
• Note: You can either shape all of the potato cakes before frying, or do it in batches as you go.Take a small amount of dough - approx. one twelfth of the mix - and roll it into a ball. Flatten the ball into a disc approx. ½ inch thick and smooth the sides to make it round. Repeat until you've used up all the dough (I ended up with 12 pancakes, but this can easily vary).
• Heat a wide, flat-based pan on medium heat and add a tablespoon of plant-based butter or oil. Once hot, place 3-4 pancakes in the pan (depending on how much space you have).
• Gently fry for a few minutes until golden underneath, then flip over and repeat on the other side. Do this until you've used up all your dough, adding as much extra plant-based butter or oil as necessary for each new batch.
• If you like, you can place the cooked pancakes on a plate lined with kitchen paper to remove any excess oil. Serve warm with your favourite toppings or accompaniments.

• 5. Add olive or canola oil to large skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Then using a scoop or large spoon, spoon batter into the heated skillet. Allow to cook about 3-4 minutes per side till golden brown.
