How to Make Potato Pancakes
1. Combine the Ingredients
Place the mashed potatoes, flour, milk, egg, minced onion, and green pepper in a mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper if you prefer.
2. Form the Patties
Shape the mixture into small rounds—about 3 inches wide—so each pancake cooks evenly.
3. Prepare the Skillet
Add bacon drippings or oil to a pan and warm it over medium heat.
4. Fry to Perfection
Set the patties in the hot skillet and cook them until each side turns a beautiful golden brown.
5. Drain & Enjoy
Transfer the cooked pancakes to paper towels to absorb any extra oil. Serve them right away while they’re crisp and warm.
