It seems as if each time there’s a mashed potato-eating holiday where my mom and I are together, she asks if I’m going to make potato cakes with my leftovers.
I always answer know. “What are they” I always ask. “How do you make them?”
You’d think I’d remember eating them if she likes them so much, but I don’t – and I love mashed potatoes.
I always get lost in the explanation, somewhere after, “You take the leftover mashed potatoes …”
Oh, well.
But after Christmas I had a LOT of leftovers. Really.
So I decided to experiment with potato cakes.
I added all of my favorite things, stirred them up ’til the color was pretty, and then fried them in a hot frying pan, and even My Little Man, the anti-potato man himself, liked them. They’re rich, full of flavor, easy to make, and while they’re not exactly easy on the arteries, they do have some nutrients hidden in there. That’s gotta count for something, right?
What would YOU put in potato cakes?
