Did you make up a huge batch of mashed potatoes to go with your favorite fall feast? If you find that you’re left with extras afterward, don’t toss them out! Save them and use them to make these potato pancakes for breakfast instead. They’re so delicious you may find yourself intentionally making heaps of potatoes in the future, just so you’ll have enough leftovers to fry these up again. Drizzled with ketchup, sour cream, or salsa, they’re the perfect substitute for hash browns and taste yummy alongside scrambled eggs or a hefty omelet. Read more of this post
