Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Mix together the mashed potatoes, egg, flour, spring onions and the salt and pepper.
  2. Roll into balls then flatten it into a pancake about a ½-inch-thick.
  3. Place the ½ cup of flour in a shallow dish and cover each pancake in the flour.
  4. Heat 3 to 4 tablespoons of oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
  5. 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.
  6. Serve them topped with sour cream and garnished with additional chopped chives or spring onions.
