1 tbl. butter
1 ½ c. cold mashed potatoes
¼ tsp. nutmeg
1 c. chopped green onions
¼ c. bread crumbs
¼ tsp. ground black pepper
2 eggs
½ tsp salt
3 tbl. oil

Melt butter in skillet. Add green onions and sauté until tender.

Beat the eggs in a bowl. Add the sautéed onions, mashed potatoes, bread crumbs, salt, nutmeg, and pepper. Stir well.

Heat oil in skillet. Shape the potato mixture into manageable patties. Sauté the patties in the skillet until they are golden brown on both sides. Keep warm in the oven while cooking the next batch. Serve warm with sour cream.

(Add garlic to the mashed potatoes to make a special treat.)
