Crispy Golden Mashed Potato Pancakes
Ingredients
  • 2 cups cold mashed potatoes
  • 4 tablespoons potato starch
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • cooking spray
Instructions
1
Gather all necessary ingredients and prepare them for use.
2
Combine the mashed potatoes, potato starch, egg, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of chives in a medium-sized bowl until everything is well incorporated. The mixture should have a slightly sticky consistency but not be too loose.
3
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches the desired temperature and emits a pleasant aroma. Carefully pour the potato mixture into the skillet and press it evenly into a circular shape, approximately 9 inches in diameter.
4
Decrease the heat to medium; cover the skillet with a lid or a flat cookie sheet and cook, rotating the skillet by 90 degrees every 2 to 3 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the top of the pancake feels almost dry to the touch, taking around 8 to 9 minutes.
5
Carefully transfer the potato pancake onto a large plate. Spray another large plate with non-stick cooking spray and invert the potato pancake onto the greased plate.
6
Add the remaining 1 teaspoon of oil to the skillet and heat it over medium. Slide the pancake back into the skillet, leaving it uncovered, until it's golden brown on the other side, approximately 5 more minutes.
7
Transfer the pancake onto a cutting board and garnish it with the remaining 1 teaspoon of chives.
8
Slice the pancake into 8 wedges and serve immediately, taking pleasure in your culinary creation.
