Description

These delicious and savory potato pancakes made with instant potatoes, onions, and cheese are easy to make because you start with prepared ingredients.

Ingredients

• 2/3 cup instant mashed potato flakes

• 1/3 cup complete dry pancake mix

• 1/2 cup chopped onion

• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

• 1 cup skim milk

• 1 egg, beaten

• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 pinch salt and pepper to taste

• 1 pinch cayenne pepper

Directions

1 Stir together potato flakes, pancake mix, onion, Cheddar cheese, milk, egg, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper in a bowl until well combined.

2 Grease a griddle or large skillet and place over medium heat. Drop pancakes, 1/4 cup at a time, onto the hot griddle and cook until edges look dry and one bubble appears in the center, about 3 minutes. Flip pancakes and cook until browned on the other side, about 3 more minutes.
