Ingredients

  • 2 cups cold mashed potatoes
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 eggs
  • salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 3 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil

For the chive-onion dip:

  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • small pinch of salt

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mix together the mashed potatoes, flour, eggs, salt, and black pepper.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, drop in ¼ cup of potato batter and slightly flatten to create a pancake. Cook 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown, then repeat with remaining batter.
  • Make the onion-chive dip by adding all ingredients to a bowl and whisking to combine. Serve mashed potato cakes warm with dipping sauce.
