Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cup (480 ml) s cold mashed potatoes
- 4 tablespoon (60 ml) s potato starch
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 3/4 teaspoon (4 ml) kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) ground black pepper
- 125 teaspoon (1 ml) garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) chopped fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) vegetable oil
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Collect all the necessary items.
- In a medium bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, potato starch, eggs, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and a teaspoon of the chives, mixing until the mixture is cohesive and sticky yet firm.
- Warm a tablespoon of oil in a 10-inch nonstick pan over medium-high heat until the oil is hot and aromatic. Place the potato blend into the pan, flattening it into a pancake roughly 9 inches wide.
- Lower the heat to medium; cover the pan with a lid or a flat baking sheet, rotating the pan 90 degrees every 2 to 3 minutes, until the edges are golden and the top is nearly dry, about 8 to 9 minutes.
- Transfer the potato pancake to a large plate. Lightly coat another large plate with cooking spray and flip the pancake onto the sprayed plate.
- Pour the remaining teaspoon of oil into the pan and warm over medium heat. Return the pancake to the pan and cook, without a cover, until the other side is golden brown, approximately 5 minutes.
- Move the pancake to a cutting board and sprinkle with the remaining teaspoon of chives.
- Cut the pancake into 8 pieces and serve immediately. Enjoy!
