Post Thanksgiving Potato Pancakes
NeedTaste |What would Thanksgiving leftovers be without potato pancakes Such an easy way to reinvent mashed potatoes. The pancake is a little crisp on the outside. On the inside, it's warm and slightly cheesy. Bits of cooked onion and texture and sweetness to the potato pancakes. Sour cream is the perfect complement to these.. I don't know which I like best . . . mashed potatoes or the potato pancakes made from the leftovers. I love these things served with sour cream. ENJOY
