Mashed Potato Pancakes on the Arteflame Grill

Transform your mashed potatoes into a crispy, golden treat with this mashed potato pancakes recipe, perfect for cooking on the Arteflame Grill. These savory pancakes make a delightful side dish or breakfast option.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups cold mashed potatoes
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or parmesan)
• 2 green onions, finely chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Olive oil or butter, for grilling

Instructions:

1. Mix Ingredients:

   • In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, beaten egg, flour, shredded cheese, green onions, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

2. Form Pancakes:

   • Take a handful of the mixture and form it into a pancake shape, about 1/2 inch thick. Repeat with the remaining mixture.

3. Preheat the Arteflame Grill:

   • Heat your Arteflame Grill, ensuring it's preheated for consistent cooking.

4. Grill the Pancakes:

   • Lightly oil the flat top grill surface. Place the pancakes on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
   • NOTE: For extra crispiness, finish the pancakes briefly on the center grill grate.

5. Serve:

   • Serve the mashed potato pancakes hot, with sour cream, applesauce, or your favorite dipping sauce on the side.

Tips for Perfect Mashed Potato Pancakes:

• Consistency: If the mixture feels too wet, add a little more flour to achieve the right consistency for pancake formation.
• Even Cooking: Place the pancakes on the flat cooktop so that you prevent the outside from burning before the inside is cooked through.
• Variations: Feel free to add cooked bacon bits, different herbs, or spices to the mixture for variety.
