Step by Step Method

Step 1

Grate raw potato; remove as much moisture as possible by wrapping them in a kitchen towel and twisting to remove as much excess moisture as possible; place in a medium bow with the cooked mashed potato, set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and pepper.

Step 3

Add the beaten eggs to the potato mixture; stir to combine. Add the flour mixture all at once and mix well. Stir in enough of the milk to make a medium stiff batter, the batter should be a little thicker than regular pancake batter. You may not have to use all of the 1/2 cup of milk depending on the looseness of the mashed potatoes. Set the batter aside for 30 minutes to allow the flour to absorb; the batter will become thicker.

Step 4

Heat a large frypan over medium - low heat; add the oil. Drop 1/4 cupfuls of mixture into the heated pan; keep them separate. Cook for 8 or 9 minutes , flip and cook the other side 8 or 9 minutes until golden brown. Do not undercook, because of the raw potatoes they require all of the time suggested.

We celebrated St. Patrick's Day with a delicious breakfast of these pancakes and Gerry's Old English Breakfast Sausage Patties. My lil guy thought it was so cool to be eating breakfast all the way from Ireland! With the addition of a little garlic and green onion mixed in these were great. Of course he dipped his with ketchup :)

Believe it or not we had these for breakfast this morning with Bangers. What a great way to celebrate St. Patrick's Day! I added in onions, just because we love them and they were so good.
