Use all the left over taters...no need for flour...use the egg. If you need more binder dump in Hungry Jack (which should be a staple in any cooks pantry)

a splash of buttermilk in the mix is good too

 

you spelled taters wrong.

 

No offense, Plu, but why would you ruin a perfectly good dish with onions & peppers. yuk

 

You can make em plain too but they they are just fried mashed potatoes.

 

Well git in the kitchen and whip me up some. I'm hawngry.

yeah, we'd have a big pot of mashed taters one day, and tater cakes the next.

 

We used to have those when I was a kid. We always had onions in them but rarely the peppers but that does sound pretty good.
