Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups plain mashed potatoes (cooled) Use leftover mashed potatoes to minimize food waste.
  • 1.5-2 cups all-purpose flour Whole wheat flour can be used for a nuttier flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1-2 teaspoons butter or neutral oil (for cooking) For a dairy-free option, use neutral oil.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Mix mashed potatoes and salt in a bowl.
  • Gradually add flour until a soft dough forms.
  • Shape the dough into a 1-inch thick round and cut into 4 wedges.

Cooking

  • Cook the wedges on a lightly greased skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side until golden.
  • Serve warm.

Notes

Ensure mashed potatoes are cooled to room temperature for the best texture. Avoid crowding the skillet for even cooking.
