Panko-Crusted Potato Cakes

I always have leftover mashed potatoes, don't you? Now I'm happy to have something new to do with them!

Ingredients: (for 8 cakes)

2 cups chilled mashed potatoes
2 eggs, slightly beaten, (separate bowls)
2 tablespoons chopped onion
1/2 tablespoon black pepper
1/2 cup flour for dredging
1 cup Panko Bread Crumbs
3 tablespoons vegetable oil for pan frying

Instructions:

In a medium bowl, combine potatoes, one egg, onion and black pepper. Divide potato mixture into 8 equal portions. Use your hands to form 1/2 inch thick patties. Dredge patties in flour, then in egg and coat with Panko Bread Crumbs. Meanwhile heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add potato patties to the hot oil. Cook until well browned, turn with a spatula and brown on the other side.
