I'm not sure I would like the "crashed"/crushed garlic or the marjoram in it. Not how my mom made them. Her potatoes were more grated too.

Chris, thanks. I corrected "crashed" garlic. Hello Michael, thanks for your comments. Grandmother's food was always the best  |

I remember my mother using leftover mashed potatoes. Sound familiar to anyone else?

Jaga...oops sorry I didn't realize you wrote that. Thought it was copied over.
Mary I know some people use mashed potatoes but then I don't think they are potatoe pancakes as we know them ...more like a fritter type dish ....like salmon cakes are made.

Growing up we used mashed potatoes as well. Potato pancakes was a "next day" meal. Wayne says in his house mashed potatoes were NEVER used and he thought the idea was disgusting.

Holly, you can give me a potatoe boiled, mashed, hashed, fried, baked, grated, and just about any other way you can think of and I will eat it. I love potatoes more than Garfield loves lasagna ;D

Mary Hello Mary, there are other types of dumplings one can do from mashed potatoes but in this particular case you need to grate fresh potatoes. Ladies: sure, if you would ever have a chance I would love to have you here in IF! |

To all,
There are no bad, just some are better than others, Potato Pancakes. To each his own. I will try all that I can, and pick the ones I like most.

I belive the mashed potaoes cooked from leftovers are calle crouquettes where you would add an egg and refry them inot a small patty. Very tasty and could use for a leftover.

I remember my mother using leftover mashed potatoes. Sound familiar to anyone else? Mary My wife is of German ancestry and the only thing she makes that has a German "sounding name" is something her grandmother called "bu bu spaetzle". Perhaps Charles will know of this, or it could be disturbingly mis-pronounced.  The foundation is leftover mashed potatoes, rolled into balls, dropped into boiling water, when firmed up, pan fried. I can ask her how EXACTLY she makes them, and they are actually a huge favorite in our home. |
