Potato Puree Pancakes
Description
The baking is simple and quick. Initially, I found this recipe for pancakes made from mashed potatoes when I had a lot of leftover mashed potatoes after dinner and didn't know what to do with them. But these pancakes were such a hit with my entire family that now I make them for dinner very often, at least once a week. The recipe itself is extremely simple, and now I'll share it with you and tell you how.

Step 1
First, we need to prepare mashed potatoes by mashing boiled potatoes thoroughly until smooth. I should mention that it will be easier to shape the pancakes if the mashed potatoes chill in the refrigerator for about half an hour. After that, proceed with the next steps and add half of the total flour to the mashed potatoes.

Step 2
You can also use onion powder, which you can replace with regular fried onion, but to save time, I sometimes use this powder.

Now mix everything thoroughly; it will be difficult to stir the mixture with a spoon, so you can use a masher.
