For some reason I could never make potato pancakes from leftover mashed potatoes. This recipe was made as written,but I think it would be really good with some finely chopped onion and some ground black pepper. I recently made this again and added what was optional onion, now the onion isn't optional. It's much better with the onion. Submitted to ZAAR on February 9th, 2009.
Ingredients:

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 eggs, well beaten
3 tablespoons melted margarine
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
