Gluten-Free Potato Pancakes

I often get tired of eating leftovers.  I try to think of things to do with them to make them taste differently and give them a new life.  I made mashed potatoes with dinner the other night and today I made potato pancakes with the left overs.  They are not "traditional" potato pancakes but they are delicious. 

Here is what you will need:

Left over mashed potatoes
1/8 cup cornstarch and potato starch
1/4 cup rice flour, sweet rice flour, and tapioca flour
salt
pepper
red chili powder
Butter

1.  Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat
2.  Mix flours and spices in a small bowl
3.  Using your hands, roll mashed potatoes into balls
4.  Roll the potato balls in the flour
5.  Gently flatten between the palms of your hands
6.  Place carefully in melted butter
7.  Cook on both sides until golden brown and warmed through

*The finished product will be crispy on the outside and warm on the inside.
**You may need to add more butter after making a few pancakes because the potatoes partially absorb the butter.

Serve with applesauce or green onions.  Experiment and have them with whatever you like.  They are delicious as breakfast or as a side.
