  • Then you are going to form the potatoes into pancakes.
    • Coat your hands in flour, because they are a bit sticky. If you are having a hard time forming the pancakes, add a little more flour to your mixture - a little at a time and let it firm up a bit.  
  • Once you make your pancakes, toss them in a skillet with some oil and fry those bad boys up!  
  • Be careful not to flip these too early, you need to have a nice crispy crust on the one side before you flip it...if you flip too early, it's going to fall apart, so be careful!

Buffalo Mashed Potato Pancakes
Course: Main Course
Cuisine: American
Keyword: buffalo mashed potato cakes
Ingredients
  • Ingredients
  • 3 cups prepared Idaho Spuds Creamy Ranch Potatoes preferable refrigerated overnight, cold
  • 1 egg lightly beaten
  • ½ cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • ¼ cup blue cheese crumbles plus more for topping
  • ½ cup flour + 6 TBS flour
  • 2 green onions chopped, plus 1 for garnish
  • 3 TBS buffalo sauce plus more for garnish (recipe below)
  • Blue cheese dressing for dipping
  • Vegetable oil
Instructions
  1. In a large bowl add potatoes, egg, cheddar cheese, ¼ cup blue cheese, 6 TBS flour, chopped green onions (2), and buffalo sauce; stir until completely mixed.*

  2. In a shallow bowl, add ½ cup flour. Form your pancakes using about 2 TBS of mixture- form into a pancake shape, about ½ inch thick, then dredge into flour to coat both sides; set aside and repeat for remaining mixture.
  3. In a high sided skillet, add about ½ cup oil, enough that the oil is about ½ inch high in the skillet. Heat over medium and add pancakes, cooking about 4-5 at a time, but not overcrowding them. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, until there is a golden crust forming**, flip and cook for 2-3 minutes on the other side. Remove and place on a paper towel lined plate to drain off excess oil. Repeat for all pancakes, adding oil as needed.
  4. Stack pancakes, about 4 per person. Drizzle blue cheese dressing, buffalo sauce, additional blue cheese crumbles, and green onions to garnish. Serve hot and enjoy!
Recipe Notes

* The potato mixture should be THICK, if it seems too thin, add more flour until it’s thicker.
**Careful not to flip the pancakes too soon or you risk them not having a nice crisp crust, and they will break apart.
