Potato Pancakes with Greens

This recipe is a good way to use up any leftover potatoes. The best texture for the potatoes is just lightly mashed, but you can use creamy mashed potato leftovers as well. For a tasty surprise, you can stuff the potato patties with cheese before you cook them, and they are also great with a fried egg on top!

Ingredients

1 bunch greens, preferably chard or kale, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 cups potatoes, lightly mashed

About 2 tablespoons oil

Flour to prevent sticking and form a crispy crust

Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Heat about 2 teaspoons of the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add greens and garlic to skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until greens are wilted. Remove from skillet and mix with potatoes, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Form potato mixture into small patties and pat in flour on both sides. Heat skillet and add the rest of the oil. Cook patties over medium high heat until browned on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
