We enjoyed these for supper to use up some leftover mashed green onion potatoes. The mashed potatoes worked out just great but I did add a second egg as they looked dry and there was no way I could "pour" them into the fry pan. The apple added a lovely hint of sweatness to them. Rather than oil I used veggie spray to cook them. I served them with garlic butter, Le Ruth's Garlic Butter, they went very well together. Thanks for posting I will make them again.

If you use organic potatoes and apples, there's no need to peel them. I also cooked mine on a griddle to use less fat and served them with applesauce and chicken sausage links. A very tasty breakfast dish.

Good solid potato pancake recipe. I was concerned that there was not enough liquid, and I think maybe two eggs would make better proportions. I cooked these on a griddle instead of in oil to save some fat. Tasty part of dinner. Thanks!
