Irish Potato Cakes

Combine 2 cups leftover mashed potatoes. a heaping 1/2 cup flour, 2 tablespoons milk and 1 tablespoon chopped mixed herbs in a bowl; knead until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Divide into 4 balls on a floured surface and flatten each into a 3 inch patty. Melt 1 1/2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium high heat, add the patties and cook until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes per side, adding more butter to the pan if needed. Season with salt.

My Sicilian Grandmother would make these without the herbs and spices. Once fried, we'd dip them into cinnamon and sugar.

My wife does this all the time as she always makes an overabundance of mashed potatoes.

I'm going to try this one.

It seems simple enough and leftover mashed potatoes are quite common around my house.
