Salt and Pepper to taste
Directions:
Directions:
Take leftover mashed potatoes and mix in the beaten egg. (Use 1 egg for every 1 1/2 to 2 cups mashed potatoes.) Add about a 1/4 cup flour. You want just enough flour to bind the mixture together but not enough to leave a "bready" taste. Add salt and pepper to taste. Melt enough butter over medium heat to cover the bottom of a skillet. Form potato mixture into patties and place in skillet. Allow a nice golden crust to form on the pancake before turning over and cooking the other side. Serve warm.

Personal Notes:
Whenever Mom fixed country ham, she would always make fresh applesauce and potato pancakes. The salt from the ham combined with the sweet from the apples were the perfect companions to the potato pancakes. Delicious!!
