    Savorykitchen's Notes: For me, the best part of mashed potatoes is mashed potato cakes the next day. These are a fantastic base for poached eggs (think a potatoey eggs benedict) and make a great light lunch topped...

  1. Mix together the mashed potatoes, egg and cheese.

  2. Put breadcrumbs into a medium bowl. Using an ice cream scoop or quarter-cup measure or a big spoon, scoop mashed potatoes into crumbs, turn gently to coat. Set aside on a plate until ready to fry

  3. Heat a cast-iron or non-stick skillet and pour in a thin layer of oil. When the oil is hot, add the cakes to the skillet and fry, flipping once, until nicely browned on both sides, about 3-4 minutes a side.

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 :)

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?
