Ingredients
  

For the Pancake Batter
  • 2 cups Stuffing Use any leftover stuffing for an explosion of flavor; feel free to mix varieties!
  • 2 cups Mashed Potatoes Provides moisture and creaminess; other potato leftovers work too.
  • 2 large Eggs Binds the ingredients beautifully; or swap with a flax egg for a vegan option.
  • 1 cup Flour Helps create the structure; whole wheat flour is a great healthier choice.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Essential for enhancing the overall flavor; adjust according to your taste preference.
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper Essential for enhancing the overall flavor; adjust according to your taste preference.
  • 2 tablespoons Oil/Butter For frying the pancakes; consider a light spray for a lower-calorie alternative.
Optional Toppings
  • 1 cup Cranberry Sauce A tangy contrast that pairs wonderfully with savory flavors.
  • 1 cup Sour Cream Adds a creamy, rich finish to each delightful bite.
  • 1 cup Gravy A classic choice for an extra touch of warmth and nostalgia.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, add your leftover mashed potatoes and stuffing. Use a fork or spatula to blend them until they’re well incorporated. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Crack the eggs into the bowl with the potato and stuffing mixture. Mix well until fully integrated, which should take another 2 minutes.
  3. Sprinkle in the flour, salt, and pepper. Stir until fully combined, ensuring there are no dry pockets of flour.
  4. Place a non-stick skillet or frying pan on medium heat. Add a tablespoon of oil or butter to melt and coat the bottom evenly.
  5. Using a scoop or spoon, drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the heated skillet. Let them cook for 4-5 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown and crisp.
  6. Gently flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until the other side is equally golden.
  7. Once cooked, transfer the pancakes to a warm plate and cover with a kitchen towel to keep them warm. Repeat the process with remaining batter.
