    Just in case you forgot; 1 cup left over potatoes

    1 t baking powder
    1/2 t salt
    2 eggs separated
    oil

    Beat egg yolk till creamy
    Add potatoes and mix well
    Beat egg whites until stiff
    Sift ( or not) flour, salt and baking powder, add to potato mix
    Fold in egg whites
    Drop by T into hot oil and flatten a little with back of spoon
    Serve with hot syrup or left over gravy.

    We grew up on these things and thought it was just normal to use the leftover potatoes this way. I still make them.

    I grew up with these too. I was very surprised at the people that never heard of them or did not know how to make them.

    This recipe sounds yummy. Could you also put into a casserole dish and add a crumb topping?

    I wish I'd seen this earlier. I just reheated the last of my Thanksgiving leftover potatoes tonight. Potato pancakes would've been a nice change.
