how to pan fry mashed potatoes
Directions. 1  Pour oil into a large skillet over medium heat, filling it so the oil fills the pan a third of the way up. 2  In a large bowl, combine potatoes, cheese, chives, hot sauce, salt, and egg. 3  Fry the mashed potatoes, a few at a time (without crowding the pan), cooking each side until lightly golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
