1
In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, large egg, sliced green onions, and 1/4 cup all-purpose flour until well mixed.
2
Check the consistency of the mixture; it should be thick enough to be easily shaped into balls. If needed, add more flour, a little at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
3
In a cast iron skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Meanwhile, place the 1/2 cup all-purpose flour in a separate bowl or shallow dish for dredging.
4
Divide the potato mixture into 16 portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten it into a pancake shape.
5
Dredge each pancake in the flour, then carefully place it into the hot oil.
6
Fry the pancakes for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy, adding more oil to the pan as needed.
7
Remove the pancakes from the skillet and place them onto a paper towel-lined plate. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
8
Serve the pancakes warm, topped with sour cream, extra cheese, and additional green onions, if desired.
