Stuffed potato pancakes

I had some left-over mashed potato and wondered what I could do with it that would be tasty and potentially enable fussy eaters to manage it in a new form, as many picky eaters find mash challenging.

These still have quite a soft texture. I would describe them as a cross between a pancake and a scone if I had to try to explain!

The cheese stuffing takes them to a whole new level.

Definitely worth a whirl if your child enjoys a dry but softer texture.

Recipe

1 cup mashed potato
½ egg
¼ cup flour (I used wholemeal)
½ tsp baking powder
½ cup mozzarella cheese
Salt & pepper to taste (you could also add chopped spring onions for flavour)

Method

Mix mash, egg, flour and baking powder in a bowl. Add seasoning.
Leave to sit for 10-15 minutes.
Heat a frying pan to medium-high heat using a bit of oil.
Divide the dough into two balls.
Roll out each piece as thinly as possible on a floured board.
Cut the bottom piece into quarters and add a ¼ of the cheese to the middle of each piece.
Place the second piece of dough on top and cut along the quarter lines.
Seal all around the edges with a fork.

Gently move each quarter into the frying pan and cook until well-browned on each side.
Best served warm with the cheese all melted on the inside.
