My hubby Vadim recreated these parmesan herb mashed potato cakes which turned out great! They work for breakfast, lunch or dinner and it’s a perfect use for left over mashed potatoes. Vadim cooked up mashed potatoes just to make these pancakes and he took all the photos; isn’t he wonderful? I married a good man. It will be so nice to know our son is getting homemade food while I’m working 12-hour shifts back-to-back.

Anyway, this recipe is so versatile; feel free to add to the recipe and let me know if you discover something awesome.

    I used Mochiko, a Japanese rice flour for the flour in the recipe – it is gluten free and worked great. I also added some sugar to the sour cream (my grandmother always did that). The recipe was great and super easy – I did not have 3 cups of mashed potatoes – probably less than 2, used 1 egg, dried chives, onion powder and Parmesan cheese – love it and will make it again – probably skip the sour cream and use a fried egg with a runny yolk. Very easy to make and very tasty

    Hi Natasha,
    I made these for the first time today for brunch. Had to cook them for much longer than your recipe called for, and the insides stayed kind of soft and mushy. Is that normal? Just wondering if my potatoes were too wet because I used Yukon gold instead of white or russet potatoes. They tasted great though. Didn’t have fresh herbs on hand, so used herbs de provence.

      Russet and Idaho potatoes are gmo, so it’s good you didn’t use them. To take care of the extra moisture in the potato, after you drain them, put them back in the pan on low heat and let the moisture dry out. It takes about 2-3minutes.

      Hi Shannon, yes that should work fine. I probably wouldn’t use extra virgin though since it doesn’t have a very high smoke point and will add flavors that might not meld well.

      Hi Yana, it sounds like your mashed potatoes are probably more moist to begin with. I would add a little more flour to the pancakes to thicken up the mixture.

    I was born in Hungary and potato pancakes were a big part of my growing up. It was the same recipe of potato, flour, eggs, and water that my mom used for the boiled tennis ball sized potato dumplings that we cut up and drenched with vadas (like a sweet/sour stroganoff) made from pref. venison, or beef if hunting season was unsuccessful and no roadkill was available either–poor family and all. Hahaha not really. My mom didn’t make her potato pancakes that often though, and once I moved out from home and then got married, fast forward to 4 kids ages 6 and under, I’ve not made them ever.

    So I was totally jazzed to find this recipe. However, I was short on time ‘cuz my peeps were hungry for breakfast NOW, so I made up a box of loaded baked instant potato, and followed the recipe from there-kind of. I added minced onions since that also helped facilitate the time factor, a teaspoon of salt, an extra egg since the whole box of instant mash came to 4 cups instead of 3, which meant that I also needed more flour than what the recipe called for, but I got a consistency that was just right and resulted in soft and yummy pancakes.

    My husband and I and the two oldest, boys, had them topped with jalapeno jelly. Our next child, Yudita, had them plain, and Hope, the youngest at 18 months, doesn’t get a say in such matters yet. 🙂 Then we tried them with strawberry jam. (In Hungary we usually had our potato pancakes with apricot jam.) Needless to say, we got up from the table feeling so warm and happy and content that I almost wondered if perhaps next should come a deep session of repentance. lol

    Thanks for the great blog!

      They shouldn’t be oily. I would just use less oil in the pan next time. With a good non-stick pan, you hardly need any oil. Also, preheat the pan well before adding the pancakes. This keeps them from soaking in any oil.

    I made these today. Very yummy. thanks for the recipe. I used mozzarella cheese because I never have Parmesan on hand. I think any cheese will work here.

    I have a great recipe for Latkes (which we all LOVE!!!) but was l was looking for something to use up a bunch of leftover mashed potatoes and found this!!!
    They look great!
    I only have 1 1/2 cups of potatoes though. 🙁 I think I’ll try them for lunch (it’s just our daughter & me then) but since it’s AWFULLY hard to use half an egg…I guess I’ll use egg beaters! I hope that works (don’t see why it wouldn’t).
    Can’t wait to try them!!! Thanks!

    Hi Natasha,

    I really enjoy your website! i had a quick question about your mashed potato pancakes recipe. Would i be able to use a different cheese since i dont have parmesan, or will that not work out?

      You can use different cheese, it should work just fine 🙂

      I think it would be too runny for this recipe, but correct me if I’m wrong. I think regular mashed potatoes are best.

    Dear Natasha, Thank you for your awesome and delicious recipes! I lose this recipe! I kind of changed it around though because I didn’t have any mashed potatoe, so I grated some raw potatoe and followed you recipe, and it turned out delicious! My family devoured it. Thanks! Oh by the way do you have anything like this but with fetta cheese (tvorog)?

    Hi Natasha,

    I enjoy reading your blog. You are such an inspiration for me, sometimes I fear that one day you will close down the blog (!!!!) and I didn’t save your recipes :-).
    I love Russian- inspired food. Kind request for you : can you please, one day, tell us how do you cook Kasha (buckwheat) as a side dish?! And what else you make with it?

    Thanks so much,
    Adi

      I usually make buckwheat exactly the same way that I make rice (maybe a tiny bit more water). The best buckwheat is found at Russian stores; I’ve found the ones in our local Winco get too mushy. I just add salt and butter and cook it in the rice maker. I love buckwheat; and I guess I should experiment more with it. That would be a fun thing to post. Thanks for the idea!

    Love your recipes. I use them all the time. Do you know any cabbage (kaposta) filled peraski?? My hubby loves those but I have never made any. I want to though. Thanks.

      It’s on my to-do list, but I have to get creative since I don’t have a specific recipe; just a general idea of what to do. I’ll probably be experimenting with it once I’m done with nursing school. My grandmother used to make them with cabbage.
