This is the best reason to have leftover mashed potatoes! For breakfast, just add a fried egg and a side of gravy. —Granny G

What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • 3 cups mashed potatoes
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (you can use jack or cheddar cheese, also)
  • 2 scallions or green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Kosher salt to taste
Directions
  1. Place everything but the butter and salt in a medium bowl; stir to combine, set aside.
  2. Heat half the butter in a large frying pan over medium heat until hot but not browning.
  3. Make 3 inch cakes with 1 cup of the mixture and place 3-4 cakes in the preheated pan.

just made these with leftover mash from yesterday, but left out the cheese and ate them with smoked salmon and sour cream instead, yum !
