potato cakes
(1 RATING)
Delicious way to use leftover mashed potatoes. My family goes for these in a big way . I have lightened the recipe at times by using bacon bits, egg beaters, 2% cheese and frying in a nonstick pan with a little light olive oil. Healthier and still good but of course we prefer the original way! lol
