Fried Potato Cakes

Another frugal side dish that mom made with leftovers

2 cups mashed potatoes ¼ cup milk
6 tablespoons flour 1 medium onion chopped
1 egg ¼ cup oil

Mix potatoes, egg, milk, onion and flour in a bowl. Take approx. ½ cup mixture (or less if desired) and pat into small cakes. Fry on both sides in the oil, until nicely browned. Drain on paper towels.
