Potato pancakes
A great way to utilize mashed potatoes is to make pancakes in a frying pan. A familiar dish that everyone can interpret 'to their taste'; in our version, we added pickled honey mushrooms. Adding sauces based on sour cream and cheese will make the dish more nourishing.
To always surprise with a variety of flavors, it is enough to use various mushrooms, dried tomatoes and/or peppers, herbs, sausages, cheeses, and spices as fillers. You can mix ingredients - the result of such an experiment always 'flies off' in a matter of minutes.
The simplest and quickest recipe for preparing potato pancakes from mashed potatoes in a frying pan will allow you to indulge yourself and your loved ones with a tasty dish at any time: in the morning, during endless rushes, - as a full breakfast, at lunch - as a second course, during breaks for lunch and tea - as a tasty snack. Moreover, hardly anyone will refuse such a snack while relaxing in nature and waiting for shashlik to cook.
Ingredients
Show ingredients
- 280 g mashed potatoes;
- 100 g pickled honey mushrooms (any pre-cooked mushrooms will do);
- 100 g flour;
- 1 egg;
- 3-5 sprigs of dill;
- 50 ml sunflower oil;
- 100 g sour cream;
- salt to taste.
Preparation
- Note that not only mashed potatoes will work as a potato base, including yesterday's, but also potatoes boiled in their skins. They need to be peeled and grated finely. Add 1.5 tablespoons of sour cream, the egg, and a third of the flour to the mashed potatoes. Mix well, lightly salt, and add the remaining flour.
- Finely chop the dill. If you have large honey mushrooms or other mushrooms, they need to be chopped: cut the stems into pieces no more than 1 cm, and the caps into 4 parts or half. We have small mushrooms, so they can be added whole to the potato mixture, after which add the dill.
- Mix the potato dough well, adjust for salt. Heat the frying pan, reduce the heat to medium, pour in the oil, and carefully lay out 1.5-2 tbsp of the potato-mushroom mixture. Using a spoon or spatula, 'smooth' the pancakes to achieve a nice oval shape. After 1 minute, flip the potato pancakes and cook until beautifully golden brown.
- Place them on a napkin with the side that is still 'hissing' from the oil to remove the excess.
- Served with sour cream, the hot potato pancakes made from mashed potatoes with mushrooms will delight you with their taste.
Cook with pleasure!
