Mashed Potato Cakes
By renbeard
My dad tends to make three or four times as many mashed potatoes as there are people, so there are always leftovers. Here's a fantastic way to use the leftovers!

Preparation
Step 1
In a large bowl, mix all ingredients until everything is uniformly incorporated.
Step 2
Using your hands, scoop out generous portions of the potato mixture, and shape it into patties.
Step 3
Spray a large pan/skillet with Pam and set it on the stove over medium/high heat.
Step 4
Cook mashed potato patties 3-4 at a time, about 1-2 minutes on each side. (If you’re using a pan/skillet with a cover, put the lid on when you’re cooking each side. This will trap the heat and cook the patties all the way around, even on the edges.)
Step 5
Serve warm, with sour cream and bacon bits.
