Cilantro Mashed Potato Pancakes

• 3 medium russet potatoes (or two very large potatoes)
• 12 medium onion
• 2 garlic cloves (for garlic lovers(one is probably enough)
• 12 cup loosely packed cilantro (large handful from the bunch)
• 1 egg, beaten
• 14 cup sour cream
• 14 cup breadcrumbs (Italian style)
• 14 cup Bisquick (or other pancake mix)
• 14 cup grated parmesan cheese (not shredded)
• 12 teaspoon italian seasoning
• salt
• pepper
• olive oil or butter, to cook in

1. Set a large pot of water to boil.
2. Peel and cube the potatoes and add them to the boiling water.
3. Allow to cook (10 or so minutes) until tender when tested with a knife.
4. Drain the potatoes and return to the still-warm pot and allow excess water to steam off.
5. Meanwhile, place the onion, garlic, and cilantro in your food processor and pulse until finely chopped (or chop very finely by hand).
6. Remove the now-dry potatoes to a large mixing bowl and pour the fine herby mixture on top.
7. Use your masher for what it was made for until the mixture is still a bit lumpy.
8. Add the egg and the sour cream and mash briefly.
9. Then add the dry ingredients--bread crumbs, pancake mix, Parmesan cheese, and seasonings--and mix thoroughly with a spoon or spatula.
10. The mixture should be a bit sticky but dry enough to roll into balls.
11. If it seems too wet for this, add additional Bisquick in 2 Tb increments until it can be handled.
12. Heat a large skillet and grease with a thin layer of olive oil or butter (I use half of each).
13. Form heaping Tablespoon-sized balls of the potato mixture.
14. Press lightly to flatten and then place them in the heated skillet leaving some space between each.
15. Cook to golden-brown before flipping (2-3 minutes) and repeat for the other side.
16. Remove cooked pancakes to paper towels.
17. Serve topped with sour cream!
