This is an old trick on what to do with leftover mashed potatoes. Can add in extra stuff like cheese, cooked chopped bacon, green onion, small broccoli, or can leave just plain, I like to throw in a few handfuls of cheese.

Add in any extras at this time to the mashed potatoes, before forming into patties. (no need to add anything extra if you don’t have it.)Take cold mashed potatoes and shape them like hamburger patties.
Take 2 eggs and beat them
Take potato patties and coat in flour, then eggs, then bread crumbs and fry until golden brown. When frying don’t forget to flip them. (if they fall apart a few of mine did, when coating them no big deal just reshape them in the bread crumbs that’s what I did.)
Drain on wire rack or paper towels before severing
Notes- use a spatula, when placing in oil. I used my hands and just picked them up and one fell apart, my 2nd batch I placed in with a spatula
