Makes about 18 small cakes.

Use leftover mashed potatoes that have butter and milk in them or use plain cooked potatoes that have been mashed to make these tasty cakes.

Ingredients:

• 6 oz silken tofu
• 1 c mashed potatoes
• 1/2 c all purpose flour
• 6 green onions, chopped
• 1/2 tsp season salt
• 1/2 tsp chili powder
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 Tbsp butter

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, mash the tofu and potatoes together.
2. Add flour, green onions, season salt, and chili powder. Mix well. Stir in the beaten eggs and blend well.
3. Heat up a griddle or heavy skillet on medium high.
4. Working in one or two batches, warm up enough of the oil and butter to coat your cooking surface. Drop batter by heaping teaspoons and shape with back of spoon.
5. Fry about 2-3 minutes per side, or until well browned and firm. Transfer to plates and serve hot with sour cream, chili sauce, or salsa.
