Mashed Potato Pancakes

     The day after Thanksgiving is replete with leftovers. The usual thought is turkey sandwiches or soup but I went in different directions this year. Today for lunch we had turkey salad (made with celery, onion and mayonnaise) and crackers, and for Sunday dinner we'll have turkey enchiladas spiced with chili peppers and jalapenos from the garden. Into the freezer went  the final few slices of white meat, leftover peas and onions, and enough gravy to cover - a convenient dinner to heat up quickly one evening next week after a long busy day at work - yummy over some toast points. One of our favorites isn't related to the bird however, but to the mashed potatoes. Just a scant cup mixed with egg, milk, flour and a few other ingredients produces crispy edged pancakes that complement an ordinary breakfast of eggs and bacon. The pancakes are good fried in butter or bacon fat, and there are never any left over.
