Answer 1

Get out a skillet, heat it on medium high, put in a large pat of butter. Get a spoon full of mashed taters and flop it in the pan but don't splash the butter. Smash the potatoes down a little, let them brown on one side then turn them over and brown them on the other side.

Answer 5

My sought after thank you to make mashed potatoes is to easily quarter and boil a number of purple potatoes in salted water. I flow away the skins on; it somewhat is merely a remember of non-public selection. The potatoes are finished while a fork pierces each and each of ways with the aid of them. After draining them, I upload in butter, salt and black pepper, as properly as some milk (no longer too plenty, only adequate to deliver all of it mutually). I mash them with a fork.

Answer 6

We like to chop up some scallions, mix it into the potatoes and then form very thin patties. Heat some olive oil in a frying pan and fry until each side is golden brown. Salt and pepper to taste, serve with butter or sour cream.
Another way is to slice a sweet onion very thin and fry this on one side of the patty, then flip and fry the other side.
you can also use a little chopped garlic or if in a hurry just use garlic or onion powder/salt.

Answer 7

This is Rachael Ray's tip: Shape leftover mashed potatoes into patties; dredge in bread crumbs and fry in butter. (You may have to add an egg to bind the potatoes.)
