Enjoy it hot with the toppings or side dishes you like best.
Different Types and Advice
For a fun variation, include 1/2 cup of grated cheddar or Parmesan cheese in the mashed potatoes. If your children are picky eaters, you can secretly add some finely grated zucchini or carrots to boost their nutrition. If you want to eat fewer carbs, consider using a combination of grated potatoes and cauliflower to make these pancakes. For people who enjoy some heat, adding a little cayenne pepper or finely chopped jalapeños can make the pancakes more exciting.
