Crispy Potato Patties Recipe

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 8 minutes
Total Time: 23 minutes
Ingredients:
2 cups mashed potatoes
1 egg, beaten
1 onion, minced (optional) I didn't use the onion
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. white pepper
2-3 Tbsp. olive oil
1/2 cup flour
Preparation:
Mix together (I used a spatula and was easy to mix) mashed potatoes, beaten egg, flour and onion in a medium bowl. Add salt and pepper and stir. Over medium heat, heat olive oil in a medium size nonstick frying pan. Drop about 1/4 cup of the potato mixture into the frying pan, patting it into 4 inch circles that are 1/2" thick. Cook until bottom is browned and crisp, about 3-4 minutes. Using a spatula (I sprayed the spatula with Pam Olive Oil) Carefully turn the patty over and cook the second side until brown and crisp, 3-4 minutes. Serve with ketchup or salsa
