Potato Pancakes

serves 4

2 cups mashed potatoes

1 large egg, beaten lightly

6 Tbsp flour

1 1/2 Tbsp grated onion (I just used a tsp of dried minced onion)

salt and pepper to taste

In a medium bowl, whisk together the mashed potatoes and egg. Add the flour and onion and mix all together well.

Spray a large skillet or griddle with non-stick cooking spray and turn heat to medium. Spoon batter onto the griddle and flatten. It's up to you how large you make them. I like to make four big pancakes.

Cook for several minutes per side, flipping once they are golden.

Top with a slice of ham, a fried egg, and some grated cheddar cheese, if desired.
