These Easy Mashed Potato Pancakes are a snap to make and a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. If you don’t normally have leftovers, just plan to make extra mashed potatoes with another meal and then set aside to use for this recipe. You can do this up to a week in advance and these will still turn out delicious.
Easily doubles or triples, and works with any flavour of mashed potato you have. This time, I used leftover homegrown purple potato mash. I like to serve them with green onions and cashew sour cream on top, but apple sauce, gravy, or vegan cheese sauce would all taste great. Check out the full recipe below!
