How to Make Mashed Potato Pancakes

  1. In a large bowl, mash 2 cups cooked potatoes until smooth. Whisk in 2 large egg yolks, 1/2 cup milk, and 2 tablespoons melted butter until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  3. In a clean bowl, beat 2 large egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  4. Gently fold the egg whites into the potato mixture until just incorporated. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Drop 1/4 cup portions of the batter onto the hot griddle, flattening slightly with a spatula.
  6. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Serve immediately, topped with caramelized onions (recipe instructions not included here, but easily found online) and your favorite sour cream or chives.
