Sure, you can whip up a leftover-laden sandwich or casserole, but when it comes to that batch of creamy mashed potatoes, you want something different.<\/p>\n<p>You worked hard and took extra care to make sure the potatoes came out perfectly smooth and not gummy, so now you want to reuse them in a recipe that preserves all that perfection. Lots of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/ways-to-use-up-leftover-mashed-potatoes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/ways-to-use-up-leftover-mashed-potatoes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">ways to use up leftover mashed potatoes<\/a> exist, but we can\u2019t get over the crispy skin, fluffy center, rich bite and herbaceous flavor of these leftover mashed potato pancakes. We&#8217;ll show you how to make potato pancakes from mashed potatoes.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Mashed Potato Pancakes<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Egg white:<\/strong> Since we\u2019re also using all-purpose flour, you\u2019ll need only one egg white to bind together the leftover mashed potato pancakes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mashed potatoes:<\/strong> We&#8217;ve discovered how to make potato pancakes from leftover mashed potatoes, so you don\u2019t have to whip up a fresh batch just for this recipe. Just make sure your mashed potatoes already contain butter and milk.

We love the gorgeous green hue the parsley imparts too.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Butter and cooking spray:<\/strong> Butter-flavored cooking spray and a bit of actual butter prevent the pancakes from sticking to the skillet and promote a golden, crispy exterior.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Create the pancake mixture<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2016520\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Quick-Mashed-Potato-Cakes-TOHVS24_38479_MF_06_25_1.jpg\" alt=\"Combining ingredients in a bowl to make a pancake mixture using a spatula\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In a small bowl, stir together the lightly beaten egg white, mashed potatoes, all-purpose flour, chopped green onion, minced parsley, salt and pepper until well combined.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Drop the pancakes<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2016521\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Quick-Mashed-Potato-Cakes-TOHVS24_38479_MF_06_25_2.jpg\" alt=\"Butter sprayed skillet with a portion of pancake mixture on it\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In a large nonstick skillet coated with butter-flavored cooking spray, melt the butter over medium heat.

Shape the potato pancakes, coat them in plain bread crumbs and fry the pancakes in 1\/2-inch oil until golden brown, two to three minutes on each side. You will need to work in batches so the oil doesn\u2019t drop too much in temperature.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add more herbs:<\/strong> Brighten the flavor of these pancakes with fresh herbs. Chives, dill, tarragon, rosemary or sage would work in these pancakes. Even a little lemon zest grated into the pancake mix will brighten the flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make it cheesy:<\/strong> In my book, cheese and potatoes go hand in hand. Sprinkle shredded cheddar, Colby Jack or a Mexican blend into the pancake batter. Tangy feta is nice too.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Mashed Potato Pancakes<\/h2>\n<p>Cool your potato pancakes with leftover mashed potatoes completely to room temperature, then store them in an airtight container in the fridge. Mashed potatoes can last only up to four days after being made, so calculate that amount of time into how long you can store your leftover mashed potato pancakes.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you reheat mashed potato pancakes?<\/h3>\n<p>Reheat leftover mashed potato pancakes in a skillet with olive oil over medium-low heat until they\u2019re warmed through. You could also heat them in the microwave, but they may not be as crispy.<\/p>\n<h2>Mashed Potato Pancake Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2016518\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Quick-Mashed-Potato-Cakes-TOHVP24_38479_MF_06_25_1.jpg\" alt=\"Top view of mashed potato pancakes with different toppings\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How long can you save leftover mashed potatoes?<\/h3>\n<p>If your leftover mashed potatoes have been around for more than four days, toss them. You have a four-day window from the day the mashed potatoes were whipped to make and eat these mashed potato pancakes. For example, if you make these pancakes the day after the mashed potatoes are made, you can keep leftover mashed potato pancakes for three more days.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you serve mashed potato pancakes?<\/h3>\n<p>The best way to serve these leftover mashed potato pancakes is with cheese, sour cream, hot sauce and chopped chives. They also make the perfect vessel for your other leftover holiday foods. Warm up turkey, cranberry sauce, stuffing or green beans, then pile them on these pancakes like an open-faced sandwich and dig in.<\/p>\n<p>Serve these potato pancakes with leftover mashed potatoes alongside other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/new-ideas-for-thanksgiving-leftovers\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/new-ideas-for-thanksgiving-leftovers\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">new ideas for Thanksgiving leftovers<\/a>.
