Eggs on potato pancakes

I am working on using leftovers for breakfast.  In this case, we had mashed potatoes for dinner.  I took the leftovers, shaped them into disks, and put on waxed paper in the refrigerator. The resulting potato pancake with a fried egg was hearty and filling.  My husband REALLY liked it.

Follow this link to the recipe:

Eggs on potato pancakes

½ cup leftover mashed potatoes per person.   Add chives or flavored salt or any herb of choice.

1 egg per person

1T butter

Night before:

Form mashed potatoes into hamburger sized patties.  Refrigerate.

  

Next morning:

In a large non-stick pan, melt the butter, and fry the pancakes.  Turn after about 2 minutes, when underside is browned.  Make sure there is butter under the pancake when you turn it, or it will stick.  Put the pacakes on a plate, and cover with foil. 

Fry the eggs.

Serve on top of the pancake.

NOTES:

If your pan is fairly large, add the eggs when you turn the pancakes, and cut down on the cooking time..
