Potato Pancakes

I wanted to title this one. Shoot! It's time to rotate food storage already! But that was too long.

So what was I supposed to do with a two pound box of instant mashed potatoes? Well after eating more than our fair share of mashed potatoes & eggs and shepherds pie I decided to branch out and search the infinite knowledge of google. And this is one recipe I found

Instant Mashed Potato Pancakes

1 cup cold water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
3/4 cup Betty Crocker Potato Buds (probably will work with any similar brand)
fresh chives
freshly ground black pepper
cayenne to taste (I used paprika)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon butter 

Where there would have been directions this blog had a step by step video. Very awesome but the directions can be summed up by saying:

Get a large pan to medium high, add oil. Flip pancakes when very crispy.


We ate this with breakfast and was great when you need "just one more thing" to serve. Its was super cheap and who doesn't love that.
