Potato Latkes


Potato Latke's are very similar to Mashed Potato Patties, however these are a combination of shredded and mashed potatoes.  They are crispier and a little heavier.  But, they are wonderful!  Give them a try

Potato Latkes

1 whole medium potato
1 cup mashed potatoes (leftover)
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 egg, beaten
2 heaping Tbsp. flour
1 tsp. ground pepper

Peel the whole medium potato and place in boiling water.  Boil for about 5 minutes and remove.  Allow to cool until it is easier to handle.  Add to food processor (or do by hand)...shred the potato.

In a bowl, combine the leftover mashed potatoes, egg, pepper and flour.  Mix well.  Stir in the shredded, boiled potato and the cheese.  Scoop out with a large T-Spoon onto a buttered griddle or skillet.  Cook over medium heat until both sides are browned.  Remove and serve with salsa or sour cream.

Enjoy!
