Instant Mashed Potato Pancakes

For many years I've tried to use boxed potato flakes
to make edible potato pancakes with mostly bad results.
Today I had success and found the ingredients for using
the boxed flakes and turning them into tasty potato cakes.

Ingredients:
1 cup instant mashed potato flakes
1/2 cup dry pancake mix
1/2 cup chopped fresh onion
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 cup whole milk
1 large egg, beaten
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper
apple sauce if desired

Directions:
Stir together the potato flakes and pancake mix,
along with onion, cheddar cheese, milk, egg,
olive oil, garlic powder, salt, black pepper,
and cayenne pepper in a bowl until well combined.
Grease a griddle or large skillet,
and place over medium heat.
Drop pancakes, 1/4 cup at a time and cook
about 3 minutes. Flip the pancakes,
and cook until browned on the other side,
about 3 more minutes or until nicely browned.
I like to serve these with apple sauce.
