- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup leftover mashed potatoes
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon skim milk
- salt and pepper to taste
- ¼ cup olive oil
- Toss grated potatoes with flour in a large bowl. Stir in mashed potatoes until combined.
- Whisk egg and milk together in a separate bowl; mix into the potatoes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
