This is one of our favorite dishes during Lent. This recipe can be made ahead and then kept warm in the oven for 20 minutes. Being Irish and German, I make potato pancakes both ways. Serve with sour cream, applesauce, and/or ranch dressing. The kids love the ranch dressing.

Directions

  • Stir mashed potatoes, flour, milk, egg, butter, and sea salt together in a bowl. Add shredded potatoes, Cheddar cheese, and zucchini; stir until batter is well-combined.

  • Heat 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, drop batter by heaping tablespoons into hot oil. Cook, turning once, until golden-brown on each side, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining oil and batter.

Tips

You can substitute kefir for the milk, if desired. You can substitute kosher salt for the sea salt.

5.26.16 I had some leftover mashed potatoes and a small zucchini in the fridge, did an Ingredient Search on this site, and this recipe popped up...perfect! Even though these pancakes had shredded raw potatoes in addition to the mashed potatoes, they were a little soft, unlike a crispy traditional potato pancakes. But that's OK because they tasted good! I followed the recipe to the letter (well, I did add some pepper), and the only thing that I would do differently next time would be to cut the salt in half. Read More

Delicious! This is especially good served crisp immediately after cooking the patties. I found the pancakes to be good on their own without sour cream or applesauce. Read More

These are pretty tasty by themselves no toppings. Hubby said they tasted fishy but that they were good. I added some garlic powder Salt & Pepper and some onion. It would probably be good with some crumbled bacon too! Read More
