Description

Mashed Potato Pancakes are a delicious and zero-waste recipe perfect for using up leftover mashed potatoes. These crispy-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside pancakes are made with simple ingredients like flour, nutritional yeast, and fresh parsley, and cooked on the stovetop for a quick and satisfying snack or side dish. They pair wonderfully with vegan sour cream and fresh herbs.

Ingredients

Mashed Potato Pancakes

  • 2 cups mashed potatoes
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare the mixture: In a bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, all-purpose flour, nutritional yeast, chopped parsley, garlic powder, and baking powder. Mix thoroughly until a dough forms that can be shaped into pancakes.
  2. Heat the pan: Lightly oil a skillet or frying pan and heat it over medium heat until hot.
  3. Form and cook pancakes: Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the potato dough for each pancake and place them onto the pan. You can cook about three pancakes at a time. Flatten each pancake gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking.
  4. Cook first side: Allow the pancakes to cook undisturbed until the bottom side turns golden brown and crisp, approximately 3-4 minutes.
  5. Flip and cook second side: Carefully flip each pancake and cook the other side until it is also crisped and browned, another 3-4 minutes.
  6. Repeat cooking: Continue cooking the remaining batter in batches, adding more oil to the pan if necessary.
  7. Serve: Serve the mashed potato pancakes warm, topped with vegan sour cream and additional fresh parsley as desired.

Notes

  • For best texture, use mashed potatoes that are not overly watery.
  • You can substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour if needed.
  • These pancakes can be reheated in a pan to restore crispiness.
  • Add spices like black pepper or paprika to taste for extra flavor.
  • Ensure the pan is adequately heated before adding pancakes to get a crispy crust.
