How to Make Savory Pancakes with Mashed Potatoes
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
- In another bowl, combine the milk, egg, and melted butter. Mix well until combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or a bit of butter.
- For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve the pancakes with a generous side of creamy mashed potatoes and drizzle with ketchup for dipping.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure your skillet is adequately heated before adding the batter to achieve a perfect golden-brown finish.
- Don’t overmix the batter; this will keep your pancakes light and fluffy.
- If your mashed potatoes are too thick, add a splash of milk to achieve a creamy consistency.
Easy Variations
- Add chopped herbs like chives or parsley to the batter for an extra flavor boost.
- Mix in shredded cheese or cooked bacon bits for a savory twist.
- Substitute buttermilk for regular milk for a richer flavor.
