Potato pancakes from mashed potatoes?

My grandfather grew up in Germany and was a fabulous cook. I am positive that I remember him making potato pancakes from leftover mashed potatoes by adding some grated onion, egg and flour then frying them in butter.

I asked my mom about it and she said that he never made them from mashed potatoes, only raw grated ones. I know that I saw him doing this though and it is driving me crazy!

I have a couple of chickens that are going to be done roasting pretty soon and I wanted to make these to go with the chicken.

Can someone advise me please?

TIA!

 
What you're describing sounds almost like gnocchi dough, but why not try it as a pancake?

It sounds delicious.

 
Hi Curious, thanks for this link. My mom used to make these potato pancakes

from leftover mashed potatoes and I never had her recipe. This sounds like it might be it. The other recipes from this episode sound good too. It makes me want to roast a turkey!

 
Man, I love these things. . .

Leftover mashed potatoes, add an egg or two, some onion/garlic, maybe some cheese and they are absolutely great when you add minced jalapenos to them.

A great way to use leftover mashed potatoes!
