Mashed Potato Patties

November 23, 2016 by Evelyn 25 Comments

 
Are you faced with leftover mashed potatoes and you really don’t wish to keep serving reheated potatoes?  Yes, us too, but it’s not a problem, in fact, it can be a windfall with these Mashed Potato Patties.

We do have a delicious solution for you today, Mashed Potato Patties.    The leftover mashed potato patties that my mom made are a great side dish and are craved at our house.

When making mashed potatoes, “experts”, say one potato for every two people.  But I always count at least one potato per person with an extra two to three.    No wonder we are faced with mounds and mounds of leftover mashed potatoes.

Mashed potatoes are OK served again and again but how many times can you get away with re-heating the same old spuds?
You don’t have to worry if you have a couple of recipes up your sleeve to deal with leftover potatoes.
Especially this recipe for Potato patties, it will make you glad you have plenty of leftover mashed potatoes.  And you might start even planning on having extra by making more in the first place.

If you initially made chunky potatoes or our Crazy Good Rustic Mashed Potatoes you will need to mash the potatoes a little more prior to mixing up this recipe. The easiest way to do this is to use a potato ricer, it’s not that expensive and it can really save you in time and effort.
Just a note, this Fried Potato Patties recipe is simply divine made from our Garlic Mashed Potato Casserole, you just have to try them!

But I must confess, I may will be making extra potatoes just to guarantee leftover potatoes, all because my family loves to eat these golden Potato Patties.

Maybe this is why I don’t often listen to “experts” and I cook the way I cook.

      NOTHING beats the love of a potato meal. I agree, all things potato taste good! I have created such recipes often and, ALWAYS very tasty. NO wasting of potatoes around my home. My parents grew them, and we kept a family of thirteen alive and strong. šŸ™‚

    I can't wait to try your Potato Patties recipe! Nearly 40 years ago we knew a wonderfully unique German lady who shared her family secret to Potato Pancakes… raw red potatoes grated potatoes (about 1 large per person) mix in a rounded tbsp. of flour, salt and pepper to taste. place about 1/2 of that mix on one side of your griddle and using a fork press and spread mixture to form a very flat cake. Fry in butter and olive oil. repeat with other side of grill and grill each side to golden brown. Remove to a pate ande serve immediately. Grate and prepare next potatoe pancake in the same way until all hungry stomachs are
    satisfied. Delicious with sour cream, suarkraut, or apple sauce,:

    Mouthwatering and now know how to use left over potatoes, besides bubble and squeak. Have made potato cake or pancake with raw potato which is popular. These patties are great for picnics also.
