    How to make mashed potatoes?

    Wash and peel the potatoes before cutting them into halves. Take a large pot and fill it halfway with water. Put it on high heat and add a ½ teaspoon of salt and the potatoes. Cook the potatoes until they become soft. Drain them. Mash the potatoes using a fork.

    How to make mashed potato pancakes?

    steps of making this recipe

    In a mixing bowl, combine the potatoes, green onion, flour, salt, ground black pepper, an egg, and mozzarella cheese. Scoop up one tablespoon of the mixture. Then, using your hands, form a patty with it. Dip both sides of the pancake into the breadcrumbs, then set aside on a flat surface. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
    Pour some oil in a skillet. Place on medium heat. Then place the pancakes leaving enough space between them. Sauté for 3 minutes on each side.
    Serve immediately.

    Tips

    • Don't form big sized patties because it’s difficult to flip them.
    • When sautéing the pancakes try to leave suitable space between them to be able to flip them onto the other side easily.
    • Use a non-stick skillet to sauté the potato pancakes.
    • Be sure to drain the potatoes well before mashing because the added moisture will make it difficult to form them into patties.
    • If your potato mixture is runny and you can't form patties add more flour (one or two tablespoons, based on how runny they are).
    • If you are not a fan of mozzarella cheese, you can replace it with cheddar.
