List of Ingredients



• 2 cups mashed potatoes
  
• 1 large egg, beaten lightly
  
• 6 Tbsp all-purpose flour
  
• 1-1/2 Tbsp grated onion
  
• 2 Tbsp chives
  
• Salt and pepper
  
• Vegetable oil for frying
  






Instructions



1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees (F).
   
   
2. In a bowl, combine well the potatoes and the egg; stir in the flour thoroughly. Stir in the onion, chives, and salt and pepper to taste.
   
   
3. In a large heavy skillet, heat 1/8-inch of oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking. Fry heaping tablespoons of the potato mixture, flattening them slightly with the back of a spoon, 1 minute on each side or until they are golden brown.
   
   
4. Transfer the pancakes as they are cooked to paper towels to drain. If desired, keep them warm on a rack set on a baking sheet in the preheated 250-degree oven. Serve the pancakes as an accompaniment to meat, poultry or eggs.
