Steps:

• 1. In a large bowl add the cold mashed potatoes, flour, and chopped chive. Add salt and pepper. Stir to blend together.

• 4. Add additional milk if you prefer a thinner pancake.

PARMESAN POTATO PANCAKE

Steps:

• Warm the 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large (12-inch diameter) nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until tender and fragrant, about another 2 minutes. Season the onion mixture with salt and pepper. Transfer the onion mixture to a large bowl and set aside. Reserve the pan.
• Meanwhile, grate the potatoes in a food processor using the grating attachment blade. Use a kitchen towel to help squeeze out the water from the grated potatoes. Add the potatoes to the bowl with the onion mixture. Add the Parmesan and the basil. Stir to combine and season with additional salt and pepper, to taste.
• Warm the remaining olive oil over high heat in the same pan that was used to cook the onions. When the pan is hot, but not smoking add the potato mixture. Use a spatula to press the mixture down into the pan firmly and evenly. Turn the heat down to medium and cook the potato mixture until the bottom is golden brown and the pancake can move in the pan, about 12 to 15 minutes. Turn the heat down to medium-low if the pancake is browning too fast in places. Place a large plate on top of the pancake and flip the pancake out of the pan. Turn the heat on the pan back up to high. When the pan is hot slide the pancake back into the pan and cook until the bottom is golden and is cooked through, about 12 to 15 minutes. Slide the pancake onto a serving platter, slice, and serve.

CHEESY LEFTOVER MASHED POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• Combine the mashed potatoes, cheese, scallions, egg and 3 tablespoons of the flour in a large bowl (see Cook's Note). With your hands, divide the mixture into 12 portions. Roll each portion into a compact ball, and then flatten it into a pancake about 1/2-inch thick.
• Put the remaining 1/2 cup flour in a shallow dish and carefully coat each pancake in the flour.
• Heat 3 to 4 tablespoons of oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. (Add enough oil to thoroughly coat the bottom of the pan.)
• Fry the pancakes, in batches, until they're golden brown and crispy on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes. Add more oil to the pan as needed between batches. (Do not overcrowd the pan and do not flip the pancakes too soon or they won't develop a crisp crust.) Transfer the pancakes to a paper towel-lined plate and immediately sprinkle them with salt.
• Serve the potato pancakes topped with sour cream and garnished with additional chopped scallions.
