Hey, that sounds like a great dinner to me Debsi---would love it!!
I have a question here---I have left over mashed potatoes and want to make potatoe pancakes...do I just add and egg and make them into patties and fry them up in oil??? Also I am going to try something new here--yellow neck squash breaded in Panko bread crumbs...anything I should know or add other then Italian seasoning and S&P??

I think 'traditional' potato pancakes are made from grated, raw potatoes. Maybe add some cheese to the mashed/egg mixture and see what turns up?
I'm just gonna make a simple mushroom/ham omelette for dinner.
I've made mashed potato cakes before, but I haven't had much luck.
I was inspired by a recipe in the Little House Cookbook which tries to give the recipes as they were described in the books.
So in this case, it is just left-over mashed potato fried in fat with nothing else added.
My potato cakes usually stick to the pan or suck up too much fat and get really greasy. I like Lacey's flour idea, it might help. Also maybe a light coating of breadcrumbs would be good.

Yes potato pancakes or latkes, are made of grated raw potato, sometimes some grated onion, a very little flour and a beaten egg.
I have tried to fry mashed potatoes in little cakes with limited success; there is usually too much liquid in the potato....but I think my dad used to make mashed potato and corn cakes.....but I don't know his recipe....I believe we had them with baked beans and I think it was a way to use up left overs and feed a hungry family on a very limited budget.....I seem to remember they did hold together and got a golden crustiness and were good with *****lily or ketchup.
*******well the all american relish is an obscenity to C-D; it must be a computer program....or else someone has a really sick mind...especially considering some of the bilge that doesnt get censored--
Hmmm. Not sure what the all-american relish Elston is referring to. Tonight it is the dentist - Yuck - and then probably a simple dinner of salmon burgers and steamed veggies.
Evening all...tonight we cleaned out the freezer of bass and catfish, which I fried up for the kids. (Not enough for me and the hubby though so we will be having nachos.)Hope everyone has a good evening.
Debsi I want that blt you made with the avacado and spinich. Sounds delicious.
