Ingredients

  • 2 cups mashed potatoes
  • 1 large egg, beaten lightly
  • 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 11/2 tablespoons grated onion
  • 2 tablespoons chives
  • Salt and pepper
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Method

  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
  • In a bowl combine well the potatoes and the egg, stir in the flour thoroughly, and stir in the onion, chives, and salt and pepper, to taste.
  • In a large heavy skillet, heat 1/8-inch of the oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking.
  • Fry heaping tablespoons of the potato mixture, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon, for 1 minute on each side, or until they are golden brown.
  • Transfer the pancakes as they are cooked to paper towels to drain and if desired, keep them warm on a rack set on a baking sheet in a preheated 250 degree F oven.
  • Serve the pancakes as an accompaniment to meat, poultry, or eggs.
