Potato Cakes

As its St. Patrick's day and I wanted a change from mash I made half of this mix for 4 pancakes using 2 medium small potatoes.


2 cups of cold mashed potato
2 eggs
1/4 cup milk
Finely chopped onion or chives
salt & pepper
tsp baking powder
plain flour

Mix mashed potato with eggs, salt & pepper
Add chives or onion
Add baking powder and enough flour to be able to make a soft dough
Scoop and flatten dough into rounds
Heat a skillet with some cooking oil over medium high heat. I use olive oil
Add the rounds to the hot oil and fry til golden brown on both sides.
Take the browned potato pancake out of the oil and drain on a clean towel.
