Agree. Mashed potato griddle cakes and stuffing cakes are the best part of Thanksgiving dinner (the next day!).
Oh my goodness - my mom (and her mom before her) used to make us mashed potato cakes all the time! Total comfort food!
My mom never doused hers with Sriracha, but yes, this is perfect "I remember mama" food ain't it?
Added this to my favorites. Looking forward to trying it!
Thanks! It's really a favorite in my house - especially for brunch.

I have some leftover mashed potatoes in my dorm room fridge I need to use up before I go on break, so I'll be making these tonight for some friends. Planing to top them with some ancho chili and red pepper jam. Should be good :)
