Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cup mashed potatoes leftovers
  • 1 Large egg
  • ¼ cup flour all purpose
  • As Needed oil
I always use Kosher salt in my kitchen! If using table salt, start with half the amount and adjust to taste, as it is much "saltier" by volume.

Instructions
 

  • Mix together all of the ingredients, making sure to get the egg fully incorporated. 
    Preheat a skillet over medium heat.  Add in just enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
    Form patties out of your potato mixture, any size you like, place in the pan and sautée the for 4-6 minutes on each side.  You want them to be lightly brown and firm.   Enjoy!
