FRONT BURNER: Potato Pancakes never go uneaten

Potato Pancakes With Pot Roast (Arkansas Democrat-Gazette/Kelly Brant)

I love potato pancakes. Especially the kind made with leftover mashed potatoes.

Unfortunately, I rarely have any leftover mashed potatoes. It seems no matter how much extra I make we somehow eat them all.

So I've been making them fresh. It takes a little longer, but it's not like I have anywhere to be these days.

They're easily made with instant potato flakes, but I think they taste better if you make them from scratch. Either way, the idea is to have about 2 cups mashed potato.

I like to make them whenever we have leftover pot roast, especially when there's not quite enough roast to make a meal. I will shred the meat and toss it with its gravy and spoon the mixture over the pancakes.
