Easy Scalloped Potatoes

 Ingredients

3 pounds potatoes, thinly sliced

½ onion, thinly sliced

9 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided

6 tablespoons butter, diced and divided

salt and ground black pepper(optional)to taste

3 cups whole milk, or as needed

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).(350 degrees F if using convection oven)

Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Spread about 1/3 of the potato slices into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. 

Top with about 1/3 of the onion slices.

Arrange 2 tablespoons butter atop the flour. Season the entire layer with salt and pepper(optional).

Repeat layering twice more.

Heat milk in a saucepan or in the microwave until warm. Pour enough warm milk over the mixture in the baking dish so the top of the liquid is level with the final layer of potatoes.

Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are tender, 45 to 60 minutes. Serve hot and enjoy!

Easy Potato Pancakes (using leftover mashed potatoes)

 Ingredients 

3 cups chilled leftover mashed potatoes

2/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese

2 Tablespoons chopped scallions, green and white parts

1 egg, lightly beaten

3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Vegetable oil, for pan-frying

Sour cream, for serving

 

Instructions

In a large bowl, stir together the mashed potatoes, cheese, scallions, egg and 3 tablespoons flour until combined.  Using your hands, divide the mixture into 12 portions. Roll each portion into a compact ball then flatten it into a pancake about a 1/2-inch-thick.

Place the remaining ½ cup of flour in a shallow dish and carefully dredge each pancake in the flour.

Heat 3 to 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. (Add enough oil to thoroughly coat the bottom of the pan.)

Fry the pancakes, in batches, until they're golden brown and crispy on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes. Add more oil to the pan as needed between batches. (Do not overcrowd the pan and do not flip the pancakes too soon or they won't develop a crisp crust.) Transfer the pancakes to a paper towel-lined plate and immediately sprinkle them with salt.

Serve the potato pancakes topped with sour cream and garnished with additional chopped scallions.

NOTE: All leftover mashed potatoes will vary in consistency depending on how much cream, milk or melted butter you added to the original batch. If the mashed potato pancake mixture looks too dry and isn't holding together, add one more egg. If it looks too wet, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the mixture is cohesive.
