For the potato pancakes:
- In a large bowl combine the mashed potatoes, eggs, grated garlic, flour, grated parmesan, salt, black pepper, scallions, parsley, and bread crumbs. Stir together to combine.
- The mixture will be a bit wet.
- Heat a large cast iron frying pan with about 1/4 inch of either cooking oil or olive oil.
- Using two teaspoons, scoop up the mixture and gently place it into the hot oil. Gently, flatten the mixture with the back of the spoon.
- Let the potato pancake cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side, or until a beautiful golden color is achieved. Using a spatula with a fork to guide it, carefully turn the pancake over and finish cooking on the other side for 2 - 3 minutes.
- Place on a plate prepared with a paper towel.
