Potato Cakes (Grain-Free and Dairy-Free)

Here is a quick and easy recipe that will turn your leftover mashed potatoes into a delicious grain-free meal or side: Potato Cakes (Grain-Free and Dairy-Free)

We’ve all been there. Too many leftovers from a super-sized restaurant portion or from last night’s dinner party where everyone went crazy for the the macaroni, but left the poor mashed potatoes all alone?! (So sad!!) Those leftovers often get tossed out, as lets face it- mashed potatoes just aren’t the same the next day–in texture or in taste. What to do?? Create something new!

The addition of spices and scallions brings wonderful flavor anew and wakes these leftover mashed potatoes right up! The pan frying adds a super tasty and savory crust, further adding to the deliciousness. Oh and don’t forget the condiments, we love Sriracha with ours, it adds just the right kick. If you’re not into heat, chop up some fresh chives and add a dollop or two of sour cream. These make a lovely entrée paired with a hearty salad and they work beautifully as a side dish as well. Happy Cooking!
