Author: Laura Blaine
Ingredients
- 2 cup mashed potatoes
- 1 egg
- 1⁄4 cup gluten free flour
- extra ½ cup gluten free flour to coat
- salt and pepper to taste
- chives or spring onions/scallions I used spring onions
- oil for frying
- sour cream and extra chives or spring onions/scallions to serve
Instructions
- Mix together the mashed potatoes, egg, flour, spring onions and the salt and pepper.
- Roll into balls then flatten it into a pancake about a ½-inch-thick.
- Place the ½ cup of flour in a shallow dish and cover each pancake in the flour.
- Heat 3 to 4 tablespoons of oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
- Fry the pancakes, in batches, until they're golden brown and crispy on both sides, approx 3 to 4 minutes. Add more oil to the pan as needed between batches. (Do not overcrowd the pan and do not flip the pancakes too soon or they won't develop a crisp crust.) Transfer the pancakes to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Serve them topped with sour cream and garnished with additional chopped chives or spring onions.
