My mother often made this recipe and probably grew up with it in the Appalachian area of Tennessee. She usually served it on Monday, making use of leftover mashed potatoes from Sunday dinner. We used to eat this topped with brown gravy.
Ingredients
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 large eggs, divided use
- 1-1/2 cups mashed potatoes
- 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- Dash hot pepper sauce, optional
- 1 tablespoon water
Directions
- In a large skillet, saute onion in butter until tender. Remove from the heat. In a large bowl, lightly beat 1 egg. Add the onion, potatoes, flour, salt, pepper and, if desired, hot pepper sauce.
- Shape into 4 patties; place on a greased baking sheet. Lightly beat remaining egg; stir in water. Brush over potato cakes. Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until heated through.
