CHEESY LEFTOVER MASHED POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• Combine the mashed potatoes, cheese, scallions, egg and 3 tablespoons of the flour in a large bowl (see Cook's Note). With your hands, divide the mixture into 12 portions. Roll each portion into a compact ball, and then flatten it into a pancake about 1/2-inch thick.
• Put the remaining 1/2 cup flour in a shallow dish and carefully coat each pancake in the flour.
• Heat 3 to 4 tablespoons of oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. (Add enough oil to thoroughly coat the bottom of the pan.)
• Fry the pancakes, in batches, until they're golden brown and crispy on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes. Add more oil to the pan as needed between batches. (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.
• Serve the potato pancakes topped with sour cream and garnished with additional chopped scallions.

WHOLE-WHEAT COTTAGE-CHEESE PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together the cheese, eggs, butter, and milk.
• Add the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and nutmeg, and blend lightly until just mixed.
• Grease a griddle with cooking spray and place over medium heat.
• Put a large scoop of batter on the griddle and use the back of a spoon to spread it out evenly.
• The pancake is ready to flip when you begin to see small air bubbles form, about 3 to 4 minutes.
• Flip and cook for another minute or 2.

CHEESY STUFFED PANCAKES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Heat the mascarpone in the microwave for 1-2 mins, or until loosened. Stir in the chives and half of the grated hard cheese, then season generously with black pepper and a good pinch of salt.
• Line a baking sheet with baking parchment. Spread the mascarpone mixture over half of each of the pancakes, then top with the ham, if using (or if using salmon, top the pancakes with it just before serving instead). Fold the pancakes in half, then in half again to create a triangle shape and transfer to the baking sheet. Sprinkle over the remaining grated cheese and bake for 15 mins, or until golden and bubbling. Sprinkle over some chives to serve.

WHOLE WHEAT COTTAGE CHEESE PANCAKES

Steps:

• Blend the cottage cheese, eggs, applesauce, soy milk, and vanilla extract in a blender until thoroughly mixed.
• Add the dry ingredients and pulse on and off until just blended.
• Heat pan on medium. Coat with butter or oil spray. Pour by 1/8 cupfuls (nice small size for toddlers and kids, otherwise use 1/4 cup). Flip when nicely browned.
• Serve with a sprinkle of powdered sugar, maple syrup, or jam.
