By , About.com Guide

This is a savoy pancake recipe made with mashed potatoes and onions.

Prep Time: 25 minutes

Cook Time: 4 minutes

Total Time: 29 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 pound raw potato, grated
  • 1/2 pound leftover, unseasoned mashed potatoes
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 pound flour
  • 1 egg, slightly beaten
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • milk

Preparation:

Mix the grated and mashed potatoes with the onion. Stir in the flour and egg. Preheat lightly greased griddle or frying pan. Add enough milk to potato mixture for a thin enough batter that will drop from a spoon. Use a 1/4 cup measurer to spoon out batter onto griddle. Grill for 3-4 minutes on each side.
ShadoeRose suggests serving these with tart apple sauce or as part of an Ulster Fry with bacon, fried sausage, fried eggs, black pudding and soda bread.
