Potato Pancakes

Potato Pancakes are a good example of a frugal food since they are made by using leftover mashed potatoes. 
What I do is take one egg and scramble it in a bowl and then add the mashed potatoes, onion powder, flour, and salt and pepper. 
The consistency I look for is a thick batter that holds together well. 
I don't measure the ingredients, but if you are looking for a basic recipe, you can follow this one: 
2 cups mashed potatos1/4 cup to 1/2 cup flourOnion powderSalt & Pepper1 egg
Heat up some butter or oil in a skillet and add the batter in spoonfuls. I then flatten them out to the size I want. 
Once they are brown, I flip them over and brown the other side. Then when they're done I remove them to a plate and finish making the rest of the pancakes. 
My family really enjoys these.
