Mashed Potato Cakes

October 13, 2009

Of all the new recipes I've made recently, these Mashed Potato Cakes are one of the biggest hits in our kitchen. I made them for family dinner, but they were equally perfect in Kenya's lunch box for school the next day. I find most kids love to eat anything they can hold in their little hands, so these little cakes are a special treat. They're delicious served on their own, but when I served them with a side of apple sauce, Kenya the fun of eating them seemed to double for Kenya.

    Just did a search for mashed potato pancakes and potato pancakes and somehow this didn’t come right up, but I guess I shouldn’t have called them “pan” cakes. anyway, my mashed potatoes must have had too much cream in them because I couldnt’ get patties to form and just ended up with burned stuff with raw egg stuff in the middle. we finally just threw it all in a pan and mixed it as it cooked, but it was edible.

    Huge hit with my 2 1/2 year old, and I liked them, too!

    Only down side is they were pretty hard to keep from falling apart after freezing and defrosting.

    We loved all your recipes. My son is special need kid and he have lots of difficulties with eating. He has G-tube, but we are making lots of effort to teach him eat by mouth.
    He also have lots of allergy, so our ideas got limited..but I always found …wonderful idea here.
    we are fan

    We just made little changes here..we added carrot, bcoz my son loves only sweet things. so to encourage him eating.. carrot is healthy added sweet.

    and instead of all purpose,whole wheat or bread crumbs..

    Thanks for this recipe! One question, though – there are frozen spinach/broccoli potato pancakes (Dr. Praegers) that my daughter loves, but I’d really like to be able to make them at home to save money and control the ingredients. Any suggestions on how to modify this recipe to add veggies? The frozen ones also have onion in them which I think really contributes to the flavor. Thanks for your help!
