Hash Browns - From Mashed Potatoes (4 servings) 2 cups mashed potatoes 1 large egg - beaten 1 onion - finely diced 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 2 tablespoons olive oil 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 mixture 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 taste and texture. Delicious! Mr Breakfast would like to thank CaptainSpud for this recipe. Recipe number 785.
