My Mom fixed them that way. And she always added finely diced onions too. I sure miss all her “OLD” recipes. Thanks for the memories…
Food memories are so wonderful. We agree that onions are a nice addition to the basic recipe!
My mom added onion also. Delicious!
We added onions too 😁
Yes!! Onions, cheese, etc. I love it all
Thank you Tom & Malissa brings back memories from my early early babyhood, up till I was making these for my sons & then grandchildren, anytime there was left over mashed, haven’t made them in a while, THANK YOU FOR THE MEMORIES, I’m. 72 now, I’ll be following you.
I'm Irish so I LOVE ❤ MY TATERS ❤ !!!!!😊😊
I LOVE POTATOES ANY WAY THEY ARE PREPARED, AND THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS YOU CAN MAKE THEM !!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I believe potato cakes from leftover mashed potatoes originated as a "struggle/hardship" way of using up everything and became very popular during the Great Depression. My grandmother also used mashed potatoes to make Potato Candy.
I'm sure you're correct. It's a good way to make something different with the leftovers. We appreciate you watching.
I make mine with leftover mashed potatoes. I throw butter in the pan, mix my leftover mashed potatoes with onions and make patties. Yum!
i agree , people made use of left overs ,if there were any , helps out alot on the grocery bill too. and always delicious , my opinion .
Just like nowadays
My mom used to use mashed potatoes and icing (confectioners) sugar, and food colouring and various flavoured extracts to make homemade chocolates. You can tell by the ingredients that it was a long time ago! But they were affordable, and we enjoyed them.
TOM your potato cakes are just like the way my grandma made hers. One of my favorite meals that she made was potato cakes, baked beans & weiners. Thanks for bringing us an oldie but goodie recipe.
I love potato cakes!
Thank you Melissa, for putting the receipt on your page. It's really so convenient to copy the receipt while Tom is doing the construction. You are the only creators that do this. Have a wonderful day.
Thank you for that encouragement. I'm so happy that you like that feature. It's nice to know that it is helping people.
I'm 61 takes me back to my childhood. Thank you
I really like the "waste not, want not" philosophy! My mom always reheated leftovers for an easy extra meal, which became even quicker when we got a microwave oven. We also scraped our plates into a plastic container with a lid kept in the refrigerator to take over to Grandpa's farm for the cats in the barn.
My German grandmother made potato cakes from scratch on Wednesdays. We would make potato fools of ourselves. These look so similar but a lot easier. No grading raw potatoes! This is real comfort food when you are feeling bad. I will certainly give this a try. My grandmother called these Plinzen. Nothing better than these.
I grew up eating potato cakes from leftover mashed potato and love them! Through my tavels, I discovered German potato cakes with grated potatoes and love those equally as well.
So many good ways to dress this up.
Great story! Thank you for sharing it. We appreciate that you've watched our video.
My mom sometimes dropped the batter by spoonfuls and made potato puffs. (Grated onion is definitely a must, I think!) ❤
You guys are sweet. It shows how kind you are and how much you love to cook in your videos. Melissa you seem to be a very lucky lady, your husband is so nice and very gentle in his approach to cooking and interacting with people, it’s a pleasure to watch you both. Love potato pancakes, I always put red onions and garlic in mine, providing everyone eating likes both. 😊
Thank you so much! I am very blessed. God is so good to us.
I love that you share your recipes with your video in the drop-down box. Thank you guys.
Our pleasure! Thanks so much for watching.
Beat up the egg BEFORE you put it into the "Taters." You can use any leftover vegs to the "Spuds." Something that is really good is the addition of as much grated onion as you want, with as much crispy, drained, chopped up fried BACON up as you like. Great with fried eggs for any meal you want it for, even a snack. If you go out camping, take along a couple boxes of the Instant potatoes. That makes life a wee bit easier. I grate my onion because there is more flavor with the juice it will produce. I have found that the Purple onion is, in my opinion much tastier than a yellow or white, because it has a smooth sweetness. I also use the Idaho potato grated up which I think is even better than the mashed. Both of these recipe's go back to before the Civil War.
My son asked for potato cakes. First and only recipe. I like them with butter on top and a side of sour cream.
I'm 69. My mother made these when I was VERY young but she added chopped onion most every time. As an adult I've thought that these would make an excellent sandwich of any kind.
Love potato cakes. My Mom always used up the left over mashed ones. She added finely chopped onion, celery and dash of garlic powder. Her Mom Scotch-Irish and that’s how she was taught. Good with anything you add. Adding cooked ham or bacon…..even yummier! Thank you for sharing the basic recipe, reminded me to whip some up! 😊
❤ SNAP! We make our tatto cakes the same! Only difference is I fry the bacon on purpose to add to the cakes and then stir up the cakes with the additions as noted in the rendered bacon fat... Nothing goes to waste. Sending love 😊
I'm 75 and my dad and mom fixed Potatoe Cake's me. God bless you all ☺️ Have a blessed evening 🌆
My grandmother added a pinch of ground sage to this recipe. Love your videos!
❤❤❤ my Mom came from Peru, Indiana. my Dad came from Kentucky. Both of them would use cold mashed potatoes, formed into a patty, then fried in butter, in a cast iron skillet. They were so good. ❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing and keeping this kind of recipe alive for future generations. Without you and others like you, recipes like this could be lost forever. To which I say…. That would be so sad. Now I’m craving potatoes.😂
Thanks for the receipts. My mom always told me, one medium potato per person! And she was right that's what I have been doing for years now. Thanks again for the receipts. 😊
I'm 66 and my mom made them all the time like you we had potatoes for dinner lunch and potatoe cakes for breakfast and us kids loved them
Yes I remember potato cakes!! Thank you I have mash potatoes in my fridge not knowing what to do with it beside eating it the same way, I appreciate this simple delish recipe!
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching. We appreciate it!
I just made potato cakes for my grandson this morning. I use the left over corn from the night before, if I have it. My husband has not ever had them. I don't follow a recipe I measure everything from the heart. And this morning they thoroughly enjoyed a good old fashioned breakfast.
These are also fabulous sultry. But for breakfast maple syrup or Mrs. Butter-Worths. I played this video just to show them I didn't come up with them all by myself. Love the history you shared of your youth. It is definitely a taste of childhood. I hope I remember to do this for the grandkids often enough. ❤
I love potato pancakes ! This is one of my fond memories from my Mom and Grandma as well !
We are very happy to have you watching ours - can't compete with Mom and Grandma - but we do appreciate that you've watched !
Instant potatoes work great too! I like adding cheese, onion or green onions 😋
I wondered if instant potatoes would work! Thanks for letting us know.
Sure they'd work.
Sounds great!
Also I have to added drained corn😅
My German dad made his by peeling potatoes, hand grinder attached to the kitchen table, add onion, pepper, salt then form patties and fry. Excellent 😊
Tom and Melissa, have you ever made mashed potato dumplings? Equal parts potatoes, egg, and flour. Mix and form golf ball sz balls and simmer in boiling water till floats!! So good with pork and gravy😋❤️
No but it sounds a lot like gnocchi. And we love gnocchi. Thank you for watching.
@@comesitatmytable9044 it is……..if roll in a rope, cut sm pieces and make ridges! Cooks quicker too. Love everything you make:))
@@babasheeny3634 thanks for the follow up. And we appreciate that you’re watching!
Back in the 70's 80's and early 90's my mom n dad would often have potatoes as part our meal throughout the week. Can still remember my mom's golden crispy brown potato cakes!
My Mother made potato pancakes when I was growing up. I've made them ever since. I'm used to making them for breakfast with a couple over easy eggs and a few slices of bacon. Yum!
Love tater cakes, I usually add finely chopped onions…so good!😊
Me too!!!
I do the exact same thing, and my Mom did, too 😀
There are several great ways to dress these up a bit. We just wanted to put the basic recipe out there for anyone to start with if they didn't already have it. Thank you all for watching.
You can also add chopped bacon and chives to make them a little more special.
I note the careful pronunciation of po - tay - toe cakes. I come frum the mountains and that seems a bit citified to me. After all, they're just tater cakes, and I love 'em. Thanks for the video! Imma gonna have to make a batch 'fore long, soon as I can get around to it.
I also grew up eating potato cakes a couple times a month. We also grew most of our vegetables (family of 8) and I think you are right. Potatoes were cheap and made a meal go farther. Thank you for sharing. It brought back memories of my childhood. God Bless you both
Thank you for your kind words. We really appreciate it.
These are just like my Pawpaw makes. I’m so glad that I can make them myself while I’m away from home. Thank you guys!
I'm 79 and my mom was from Texas. She made potato cakes for breakfast sometimes. Way too much mashed potatoes is the right amount. Anything less and you risk having no potato cakes for breakfast. I've never been able to make good ones because I wasn't;t sure how much flour is optimal. Thanks for teack=hing me that!
My mommy makes these sometimes i love them . I love how it’s crispy on the outside and fluffy inside
Called Tattie Scones in Scotland, they’re made with just flour and mashed potato (no egg). Traditionally made immediately after the meal was eaten, while the leftover potatoes were still warm. Then flour is added until the mix becomes like a dough that can be rolled out. They were kept overnight in a cool place wrapped in a tea towel, and fried in butter for breakfast the next day
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful story. It's fantastic to hear about food from all around the world. We really appreciate your informative comment and we will definitely try your Tattie Scones. Interestingly enough, we were in Stirling, Scotland one year ago today! It was a great visit and we toured the castle.
We live in a town called Mount Sterling. Our town was founded by a gentleman named Hugh Forbes, who came here from Scotland. He named our town after his hometown of Stirling, Scotland.
We were so excited to be in Stirling and feel the connection with that city because of its connection to our small town.
@@comesitatmytable9044 I’m heading to Stirling next month! Go there regularly. My grandfather was called William Wallace and so was his father, and his father before him…I call the monument grandpa’s tower. Lol
I love potato pancakes! But almost forgot about them. Onion and garlic are must adds for me!!Thanks for reminding me about them!
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching. We really appreciate it!
Love potato cakes and thank you for bringing back some memories!🥰🥰
AWE THAT IS HOW MY MOM MADE POTATOE CAKES. THANK YOU 😊
You are welcome. We appreciate that you are watching our channel. Have a great evening.
Salmon cake sound good😮
My paternal grandmother used to make the best potato cakes. I miss her cooking so much…
We are so close in age Tom, when I listen to your stories, and I love them, it’s almost like we lived in the same house.
My dad was German and the only way I’ve seen them made was from scratch. They were a treat when he made them. I’ve never seen them done like this and I will make them in the future. Thanks.
I make these anytime I have left over mashed potatoes..yum
Scalloped potatoes.......................YUM!
Fixed some in my air fryer with Christmas dinner leftovers. I add garlic and onion powders, an egg, flour, a little bit of sugar, some shredded cheese and some old Bay seasoning. I add minced onion to some for my husband. Frying them absorbs a lot of grease so I fixed them in the air fryer last time and added extra cheese to the top! They were delicious!
Takes me back to my childhood too. My dad always made potato cakes. They are so delicious!
They are! We are so happy that you’ve watched our video. We appreciate it.
Love potato pancakes. I Always add onion to mine. Preferably green onions. Daddy always liked butter and syrup on his, I do too. As far as over cooking the proper amount of potatoes. General rule of thumb is 1 medium potato per person. Always add couple of extras for big eaters. This really works well with potato salad. Thanks for sharing your recipes and talents.
Always a great way to use leftover mashed potatoes!! Thanks for sharing
LOVE POTATO CAKES.
THANK YOU FOR KEEPING YOUR RECIPES SIMPLE AND DELICIOUS.
I love adding onions not always because they bloat me up. But I will eat with or without they are absolutely heavenly plus brims memories of my Mom and our Aunts & Grandmother’s
You guys are such likable people. 😊 Just stumbled across your channel looking for new recipes and I'm SO glad I found this one since I had given up on making potatoe cakes since when I tried they fell apart because I didn't know about the flour ans egg going in!! Now I know. Thanks ❤😂
I love potato cakes - I ate them often growing up. My parents lived through the Great Depression and never wasted food - ever!
Food prices are just outrageous these days so we hate to waste anything! Thank you so much for watching and for sending us such nice comments.
Love the way you make the mashed potatoes pancakes

I love potato pancakes and I add chopped onion to the potato before frying them. Terrific!
We used a greater and grated the potatoes, and made potato pancakes that way!!! Which you reminded me of here!! I’m going to try and make some potato pancakes the way I was raised to do it with the greater!! I never make mashed potatoes!! But thank you very much… I watched your video to help prompt my brain on what to cook and how to cook again!! I’m 75 and will be turning 76 soon!!! And my “ tinker isn’t tunking” like it used to!!! Thank you very much to both of you!! Love, Sister Gay, Michaelis and family… have you found the gospel of Jesus Christ yet? ❤️😇🙏💙🏡🌎🇺🇸👌🌻😎

Lol you’ve got that right!!! Mashed potatoes should be at the top of the food pyramid 😂 potatoes 🥔

I loved when my Mama made these when I was growing up. I couldn’t believe how easy they are to make when I asked her how a few years ago when I had a craving for them.
They really are! Thank you so much for watching with us.

You speak very well in your video. Thanks for the video, I've been trying to find a good video for this ever since I had these at my grandpa's house years ago.
Thank You! Love your videos.
Awesome!
Sounds good 😋 I would add diced green onion to the batter.
Issaquah, WA 🇺🇸
Love them
Enjoy watching you and your wife. Love to hear a story about what you are fixing and how your mom did it. I will try these cakes after Thanksgiving. Always fix too much potatoes.
My husband LOVED potato pancakes, which he first ate in Germany. This recipe is the perfect starting point for recreating the cakes he so loved. Thanks for giving me an "in" to another nostalgic recipe.
You are so welcome. We really hope you have great luck recreating the dish he remembers. We appreciate that you are watching our channel.
Thanks for sharing!!👍
Boy that brings back some fond memorie's of my childhood when my mother used to make those, thanks for sharing!
Looks yummy!
They are so good. Thank You
I have had these with pork tenderloin and applesauce. Ideally like them.
We love potato cakes. I add shredded cheese. So good.
We made these today. Perfectly wonderful. Thank u
Thank you! I was having a lot of trouble trying to figure out how to flatten them properly and not stick to my hands, and this helped a ton!
You're so welcome! We are so glad to have you watching our channel. Thank you for joining us at the table.
I make mashed potatoes on purpose because the next day I make a casserole out of them. I fry up a pound to a pound and half of hamburger and add a package of dry lipton onion soup mix while cooking it, once done I drain it and I add the burger to the bottom of a casserole dish and I then empty a can or two (depends on how big a casserole dish you used) of canned (or homemade if I have left overs of that) cream corn, just pour it right over the burger. I then add mashed potatoes over the top of the corn untill it's all covered, throw some cheese (doesn't matter what kind) on top and then bake it until it is bubbly around the edges maybe 20 to 30 minutes and take out let rest a bit and enjoy. Kids love it. These look really good I have never had them. I will have to try them, wonder if some fresh chopped chives would be good in them. Thanks
Yes chives are great in them. I always add some chives or green onions in mine and a bit of garlic powder. We love them made this way. I also make fried cornbread cakes the same way. Your recipe for the casserole sounds delicious. I’ll have to try it. So, there are very good reasons to cook too many mashed potatoes! No worries!
I tease him about how many leftovers we have, but he knows I love having them! You are absolutely right, there's so many reasons to make a bunch of mashed potatoes.
Love watching your videos
I normally go down to the fish and chip shop to get my potato cakes in battar, but after watching this, I'm going to have a go myself and will be dipping them in battar before I fry th👌🇦🇺
I love these simple short recipes!
My mother made the best potatoe cakes. My grandpa was born in 1885. My mother was born in 1929 and her mother would make these for her kids long before the Depression. They didn't waste. They simply made something out of nothing to make one more meal out of what they had left over.
The Potatoe Cake Recipe has been around for generations. First of all you want to toss thoughs balls gentley, to make sure they'r void of dirt.
Definitely my favorite for leftovers and lots of butter!!😊👍
They are so, so good! We love having you at the table with us.
My Late Mama made these all the time. They were so delicious. This video brings back happy memories.Thank you for posting this
You are so welcome! We are very happy to hear that our video connected you to a wonderful memory of your mother. Thank you so much for sharing that with us.
I made them on campouts but I grated the potato a little onion , egg & flour & fry them. So good.
My mom was a single parent and I remember eating a lot of potatoes! There a great filler ❤ I can remember many times having an iron skillet of fried potatoes and onions. My grandma taught me how to make potato cakes - so delicious!
I haven't had mashed potato cakes before. You made them look delicious so I'm going to give them a try.
You should!we think you’ll enjoy them. Thank you for watching. We appreciate it!
Thanks for sharing this quick and easy recipe. Looking forward to trying it! 🥔🤎🥔
Hope you enjoy them. Thank you for watching.
I tried your recipe. The potato cakes came out perfectly. ❤
Thank you.I will have to try
so good and so easy
