Leftover Cheesy Potato Pancakes

Thanksgiving is always held at my house. Each of us chooses a dish to make and we all come together with our dishes, about 20 of us when it’s all said and done. 


This year with baby coming, I’m making green beans in the crockpot and literally calling it a day. These always go super fast and you don’t have to worry about leftovers in the fridge forever. A few foods always have leftovers though, no matter how much or how little you make of them. Mashed potatoes are one of these foods. 

I’m not a fan of mashed potatoes reheated–so I’m here to share with you a recipe that turns those unwanted potatoes into delicious cheesy potato pancakes. These are absolutely delicious topped with extra cheese, bacon, and a dollop of sour cream. These are absolutely delicious and will get you through the weekend of shopping. 


Leftover Cheesy Potato Pancakes

6 Cups leftover Mashed Potatoes
1 1/4 Cup Cheddar Cheese
3 Green Onions, chopped
1 Egg
1/4 Cup Flour
1/2 Tsp. Garlic Powder
1 Tsp. Salt
Sprinkle of Freshly Ground Pepper
2/3 Cup Flour
Oil for Frying
Sour Cream and Cheese for serving

1. In a bowl, stir the mashed potatoes, cheese, green onions, egg, 1/4 cup flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

2. Place the 2/3 cup flour in a bowl. Using hands roll a portion of the mashed potato mixture into a ball then flatten into a pancake. Once formed into a pancake, coat each side in the flour.

3. Heat 4 tablespoons of oil in a large pan over medium heat. There should be enough oil to coat the pan. 

4. Fry the pancakes until golden brown on each side. Transfer the pancakes to a paper towel lined plate and sprinkle with salt. 

5. Serve the pancakes with sour cream, cheese, and bacon crumbles. 

What is one of your favorite things to make with leftovers?

Next time you get ready to potty train don’t let Next time you get ready to potty train don’t let ANYONE tell you that one gender is easier than the other. Kids are kids and they each have their own personality. My daughter is very much into doing things herself without help—so potty training had to be done by her not the experts (myself). I used the same potty training technique that I used with the boys, and it did take a bit longer for her to get it—but that’s because she took what I told her to do and did her own thing. 🤣 The next big step? Moving to a big girl bed. I’m not ready. 😭
Ok smoothie, ice cream—it’s all the same thing Ok smoothie, ice cream—it’s all the same thing. Elevate your @corepower drink by using the @ninjakitchen Creami. To prep my ice cream I pour my drink into the container the night before with some bananas. The next morning it’s ready, I mix it twice on lite ice cream. If it seems like it’s not mixing well just add a splash of milk. I typically like to add Lilly’s Chocolate Chips, but they were missing so I found the marshmallows and said whatever and threw some in. I then mixed it on “mix in” and it seriously tastes like a frosty. It is delicious!
