YUM! This is a first for me. I have never had these before :D What a great way to use leftover mashed potatoes. I sauted regular yellow onions and some chopped green onions that I had in the fridge. This was quick and easy. I will be making these with my leftovers from now on TYVM Oh I fried mine in the same pan that I sauted the onions in

AWESOME - even better cold. Did not do the egg wash as batter seemed a bit runny - could not shape into rounds but rather just spooned right onto the pan. Next time will add more flour I guess to make more firm. Did not flip and bottoms nice brown but top surface did not brown probably from omitting the egg wash! Held together great when removed from pan. Great breakfast munchie so would be great lunch appetizer. Definitely Definitely a make again.

I had leftover mashed potatoes after my Thanksgiving dinner and was looking for something different to do with them other than just fry them up; this was the perfect solution for the day-after-Thanksgiving dinner. These were wonderful! They were so easy to prepare, and I like that they are baked rather than fried. I used my potato masher to combine all the ingredients, as I wanted to make sure no lumps of cold mashed potatoes remained. Unfortunately, I had to omit the onions (or else my son wouldn't have eaten them), but I sauted two large cloves of garlic as a substitute. I will definitely make these again!
