Potato Cakes

2 cups leftover mashed potatoes 1 egg beaten 1 tablespoon flour

2 tablespoons milk 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions:
Combine in a mixing bowl: potatoes, beaten egg, flour, milk, and onion. Mix well. Heat vegetable oil in a heavy skillet. Use a big spoon to scoop potato mixture and drop it into the hot oil. Brown on both sides, turning once. Serve hot.

Notes:
The original recipe calls for two tablespoons cream, but milk works fine.
