Potato Garlic Mini Pancakes

Ingredients

1 container (1-1/2 lb.) prepared mashed potatoes (found in the dairy section)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 Tablespoons minced garlic
1 egg, beaten
2 Tablespoons bread crumbs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup bread crumbs for dusting
2 Tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
Sliced corned beef or smoked salmon

Directions:

In a medium bowl, mix the potatoes through black pepper. Add cheese, garlic, egg, 2 Tablespoons bread crumbs and salt. Consistency should be rather thick. If too soupy, add a tad more bread crumbs. Lay remaining crumbs on a paper plate to coat finished product.

Heat a skillet to medium high and add 2 Tablespoons oil. Scoop up Tablespoon size potato mixture and form into a ball then drop into the bread crumbs. Flatten slightly and place carefully in the oil. Repeat until pan is full without being crowded. Brown on each side and drain on paper towels. Serve either hot or at room temp with a slice of corned beef or smoked salmon on the top!
