Ingredients

2 cups mashed potatoes
¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 large egg, beaten
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon butter

Directions

Mix together potatoes, cheese, beaten egg, and salt in a medium bowl until well combined.
Melt butter on a large griddle over medium heat. Drop potato mixture onto the hot griddle, 1/4 cup at a time. Flatten each pancake with the back of a spatula to 1/2-inch thickness. Fry until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Serve hot.

Tips

For a sweet variation, you can substitute the Cheddar cheese with 1 tablespoon sugar and serve the pancakes with maple syrup.
