Beat the egg in a small bowl. In a medium bowl, mix together egg and onion with mashed potatoes. Add salt and pepper as you desire.
At a medium setting, heat olive oil in a medium size frying pan. Scoop the potato mixutre into the frying pan in 4 inch circles, pat with a spatula to flatten the mounds to approximately 1/2 to 1 inch thick. Cook until bottom is browned. Flip the patty over and brown the other side.
You can't beat this one for tast and texture. Delicious!
Mr Breakfast would like to thank CaptainSpud for this recipe.
I grew up eating these. We also used leftover rice instead of potatoes. Just salt and pepper to taste.

I loved this!! I always tried to make mashed potatoes into hash browns and always ended up with a soupy gross, mess. I am so glad I found this recipe. I do agree that these do strongly resemble pancakes, and I absolutely loved it! I skipped on the onion so I could share it with my 9month old daughter, who loved them as well. Awesome recipe and so simple to do!
