Cheesy Leftover Mashed Potato Pancakes

INGREDIENTS

• 3 cups chilled leftover mashed potatoes
• 2/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese

• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• Vegetable oil, for pan-frying
• Sour cream, for serving

INSTRUCTIONS

• Place the remaining 1/2 cup of flour in a shallow dish and carefully dredge each pancake in the flour.
• Heat 3 to 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. (Add enough oil to thoroughly coat the bottom of the pan.)
• Fry the pancakes, in batches, until they're golden brown and crispy on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes......
