Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp. Butter
  • 1/2 Sweet or Yellow Onion, sliced thin
  • 3 cups Leftover Mashed Potatoes

  • 1 Egg
  • 1/2 cup All Purpose Flour
  • 4 tbsp. Chopped Chives
  • 1 cup Seasoned Panko Bread Crumbs
  • Neutral Oil (I prefer Peanut), for frying
  • Sour Cream, for serving

Instructions
 

  • Sauté the onion slices in butter until golden brown. Set aside.
  • Mix together the leftover mashed potatoes, cheddar, egg, 3 tbsp. chives, and flour in a large bowl until well combined.
  • Form the mashed potato mixture into patties and then coat each side with panko bread crumbs.
