Potato and Veggie Pancakes

This recipe is good if you have a lot of leftover mashed potatoes and don't know what to do with them all:

Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/4 cup flour
• 2 cups leftover mashed potatoes
• 1/2 cup or so of chopped up veggies - fresh or leftover (for example: carrots, broccoli and cauliflower or onion and green peppers, etc.)
• salt and pepper to taste
• canola oil for cooking

Heat cooking oil in frying pan/skittle. Meanwhile beat egg with milk in a medium bowl; stir in flour and mashed potatoes with a fork. Stir in chopped veggies and blend well. Using a 1/3-cup measuring cup, scoop out potato mixture and drop onto hot oil. Fry until deep golden brown on each side and potato pancake holds together when flipped.

Yields about seven 3-inch potato pancakes.
