This is what you do with left over mashed potatoes the next morning for breakfast of lunch...

Crack a egg into the bowl of left-over mashed potatoes. Stir together.
Add a little flour to help the patties hold together while pan frying.
Chop up some onion and garlic and jalapeño and mix that into the batter.
Take a tablespoon and drop spoonfuls into hot olive oil and cook until brown on both sides.
Drizzle lightly with your favorite hot sauce and enjoy.
Goes good with fried eggs too.:)

We never put all the ingredients in it, but Mom used to make a patty out of mashed potatoes, dust with a little flour, then fry them with a little vegetable oil. Then we'd eat them with fried eggs. Another variation we'd fix for lunch (we were poor, so potatoes were lifesavers) was to mash fried eggs and fried mashed potato patties and make a sandwich out of them.

Your version sounds very good BigFoot. I'll have to try them.

Simple, but syill one of my favorites. yours look good.
