DID YOU EVER SEE THE LIKE?

I was scrolling through the recipes and did you know? There are a thousand and 1 ways to make potatoes. That doesn't say much for the beans, carrots and tomatoes, does it. There is actually a potato sandwich recipe that has tomatoes and onions with it.

You know, most of the time when you cook dinner, you have a huge bowl of mashed potatoes left over. You don't have a dog, you don't have hogs and your husband won't eat cold mashed potatoes. Your head screams "What do I do with all these cold potatoes." Something answers: "Put them in the fridge until morning."
SOO, into the fridge they go, sitting there is all their mashed frenzy wondering what is going to happen to them. One little mashed potatoes says to another: "I don't want to go into the garbage." So those little potatoes sobbed all night.

Next morning you wake up with a recipe in your mind. This is the way it goes.

Now, you have about
1 1/2 cups of mashed potatoes
Add: 1 egg beaten
until the egg is all consumer by the mashed potatoes,
Add: 1/4 cup pancake flour and a drop or two or vanilla flavoring.

When that is all mixed and smelling so good, you toss in a small bag of chopped pecans.

Now over on the stove, you have a non-stick skillet heating just waiting for your potato concotion. Did I ever tell you that if there is a non-stick skillet out there, I've never found it. Well, just in case, I put a dollop of margarine in the skillet, spread it all around until it melts and the skillet is now ready for me to cook the potato mixture. Oh, I forgot, you add 1/4 cup milk to the potato mixture. Make sure everything is mixed up real good.

Now the tricky part. You take a ladel that holds just under a cup of batter, dip some of the potato batter the pour it into the preheated skillet. Oh the beautiful fireworks you hear.
snap, crackle and did I mention pop.

And to beat that, the aroma wafting up from the skillet is just heavenly. Soon, the one side of the concotion is brown (tested by picking up a little edge), so, please use a extra wide spatula which you slide under the browning potato concotion, lift it up, turn it over and brown the other side. Sound anything like making pancakes? WeLLL,

You have just made the first of many:

Potato Pancakes.

Turn them out onto a plate, douse them with butter and good old maple syrup and you have, along with a cup of coffee, a breakfast fit for your king.

He doesn't even know the potatoes are in his pancake.

"I'll have a kiss, before you go off to work," I tell him. And, away he goes.
