Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups mashed potatoes
  • 1 tbsp minced onion
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat a griddle (or large non-stick skillet) to medium heat.
  • In a large bowl mix together the mashed potatoes, onion and egg. 
  • Then stir in the flour, salt and pepper.
  • Add about 2 - 3 tbsp of oil to the warmed griddle, making sure to fully cover the pan.
  • Scoop about 1/3 cup of the potato mixture for each pancake, onto the hot griddle.
  • Cook for about 2-3 minutes each side. The tops of the pancakes should be golden brown. If you want crispy potato pancakes, make sure you use enough oil, and cook them a bit longer.
  • Serve with sour cream.
