DON'T EAT THIS AT HOME

Fried Mashed Potato Cakes.
Makes 3.

Ingredients...

Left Over Mashed Potatoes
Gorgonzola Crumbles

1 Egg Whisked
Bag of Flour
Olive Oil

This recipe needs not to be repeated. It is the starch that I love and it is the starch that never lets you down. But, it kind of did tonight. I thought I could make little fried mashed potato cakes but it ended up as fried potato mush.

I added the Gorgonzola to the cold left over potatoes, whisked an egg in a bowl, and threw some flour in a bag. Tried (desperately) to make small patties then dipped in egg and then in the flour. They pretty much immediately fell apart but I believe in perseverance.

In a large sauce pan I had about a half of an inch of oil cooking on high heat. Big mistake. If you DO try this at home, don't use so much oil. Browned on both sides and kind of ready to eat. They were still kind of grubbin and I actually ate every bite. But, I will not be making this any time again in the future.

NOTE: EXTREMELY EXPERIMENTAL! Made 2 cakes this way and then the third I mixed the egg in with the potatoes and then floured them before soaking them in the oil. This seemed like the way to go if you were going to actually attempt this. They looked great though, looked real light and fluffy, identical to this gorgeous McQueen dress below. Who would have known. ...
