These cheesy Potato Pancakes are an amazing way to use up leftover mashed potatoes!I've tried making something similar to this in the past to use up leftover gammon and mash but as amazing as they tasted, they definitely didn't look as tasty as they could have done.

I also used more oil this time which isn't my favourite way to cook but it definitely helped them … [Read more...]
