Ingredients

2 cups mashed potatoes

0.25 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

1 large egg, beaten

1 tsp salt

1 tbsp butter

0.5 cup all-purpose flour (plus extra if needed)

Directions

Gather all ingredients.

In a medium bowl, mix together the potatoes, cheese, beaten egg, and salt until well combined. If the mixture seems too wet, gradually stir in some flour to reach a consistent texture.

Melt the butter on a large griddle over medium heat.

For each pancake, drop 1/4 cup of the potato mixture onto the hot griddle.

Using the back of a spatula, flatten each pancake to about 1/2-inch thickness.

Fry for around 5 minutes per side until they're golden brown and crispy.

Serve immediately.
