Great way to serve leftovers! DH raved about them. I used two eggs and added grated Parmesan. The Parmesan was a nice touch but next time I will only use 1 egg. Thanks for the recipe!

Great simple way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. I added some cheez wiz, and that was it. Kids gobbled it up. Thanks for posting this.

I liked this recipe but there are no measurements for the potatoes. I realized these are made using leftover but still there should be something. Like 1 cup of left over mashed potatoes per egg & 1/4 c flour mix. I had trouble keeping mine together when turning using 2 eggs to 3 cups of mashed potatoes. There wasn't enough binder.

These are great! I had some mashed potatoes from a big dinner and used this. I only did 1 egg but added in cheese and sauteed onions. The kids devoured them! Thanks, Thomas!

I commented on another recipe here — if the left-over potatoes are stiff, I add an egg. Otherwise, just 1 tsp. baking powder and stir with fork until manageable. Shape into patties, coat with Panko, and saute in butter. If the mixture is too loose, just put all in the pan and fry as one big cake. A tad more difficult to flip, but using a plate to turn works. Easy to add the optional spices.

My mother used to make these, and this recipe is very like hers (she never added cheese, though--don't know why, because adding cheese sounds yummy). These are great slathered with butter. Thanks for submitting it.

Hey, good recipe, but if you want to cut out the chopping, add a frozen mix of the Southwest. It comes with black beans, onions, green & red bell pepper all in one bag, and some mexican mix grated cheese, and voila, you have the Southwestern version!

My mom made these when I was little. I have looked and looked for this recipe.We always called them Potatoe Patties or Tater Patties.We were really poor and only used potatoes,egg,flour,salt,pepper,onions and they were still great. My husband has never had them. I plan to cook them tonight. Thanks
