Baked Mashed Potato Pancakes

Thanksgiving is somehow crazily upon us.  It feels like just yesterday it was sunny and in the 70s.  Well, it wasn’t quite yesterday, but here in the Detroit area, Friday was a gorgeous day of record breaking warmth.  We ditched work and headed to the zoo, dinner, and grocery shopping, literally driving into the cold front on the way home.  The forecast shows little hope from here, but that can always change.

I am so thankful for Friday and the many, many other days like it this year.  I try to be thankful for the amazing parts of my life on a daily basis, not just for Thanksgiving, because those parts are important, they are what save me, year round, not just on one day.

Baked Mashed Potato Pancakes

I am very lucky.  My parents deserve awards.  I have lots of nice things, a great house to live in, and never ever have to worry where my next meal is going to come in.  in my day to day life, no isn’t a word I hear when it comes to necessities and many extravagances.  And for that, my heart is swollen with joy and my eyes well with tears.  My parents are my world and they have and continue to do everything they can for me and with me.  We are a team.  We talk, we hang out, we watch movies together.  We are not just family.  We are best friends.

But there is this strange dichotomy in my world.  One where I don’t really have people other than my parents to turn to for advice, guidance, a concert or shopping or dinner buddy.  One where I told myself this would be my year when it came to my career and there were several close calls, but here I am more disappointed than ever.

Baked Mashed Potato Pancakes

Agents and Hollywood are a strange bunch.  A bunch that have told me multiple times I am a good writer, but have always found an excuse to pass, to put me off, to ignore my emails.  I had my “in,” I was told, and yet here I am, an outsider, stuck in Michigan when my heart is somewhere warm, preferably California.

These things aren’t to say I am ungrateful, in fact, in some ways they make me more grateful for those wonderful things.  It is often hard to reconcile the two though, particularly as time goes on and I see the pain in my parents that they feel like they have failed when I am the failure.

I suppose that’s when we become thankful that there are more days to keep writing and revising, keep sending letters and taking chances, keep fighting, because as Mom tells me, I can’t give up.

Baked Mashed Potato Pancakes

It’s also when we are thankful for leftovers.  I love leftovers because it means I can get a great dinner on the table in no time, giving me more time to pound away on my computer, trying my hardest to make awesome things happen.

These Baked Mashed Potato Pancakes aren’t exactly healthy even though they are baked, but baking them is super easy and doesn’t dirty any dishes since I baked them on foil.  I had plenty of my Green Bean Casserole Mashed Potatoes left that I used to make these pancakes, but mashed potatoes mixed with roasted vegetables or green bean casserole will work amazing.

    I applaud your honest sharing, Laura. “The industry” whether you’re talking about Hollywood or publishing – can be tricky….Connections are key and it isn’t always about talent…And even with connections, there is careful dancing…So, I too, do my best to keep focusing on my many blessings….And do my best to improve my craft and write from my heart – like you! Cream does rise to the top =)

    Okay , we can all use a bit of comfort…and I do believe your potato pancakes would fit the bill!

      Thank you, Kim! I questioned whether I should write the post, but I have been so down and have felt like I was about to breakthrough so many times this year only to be disappointed that I felt I had to share. I do hope that I am the cream and I will rise 🙂

    Certainly you are very successful! Look at all you have accomplished. I will give you that the recognition is not there quite yet in some areas but that doesn’t determine success! You do more in one week than a lot of people do in months! Just keep going forward…..

    And I want one of these potato pancakes!!! WOW!

      Thanks, Debbie; I appreciate your words. I think it’s hard because I feel like none of my work means anything. Hopefully one day soon it will.

    Writing is a tough racket. It is SO hard to break into it. Once you get something accepted, everything gets easier. But that first step is a high one. Anyway, love potato pancakes! These looks great — thanks. And Happy Thanksgiving!

    We often have potato pancakes made with leftover mashed potatoes but I have always fried them and have never thought to add in my leftover green bean casserole. Thanks for the idea and good luck with you writing. One day we will all be saying we knew you when.

    You’re lucky to have such amazing and supportive parents in your corner! That’s terrific! These look delicious – My grandfather used to make fried leftover mashed potato pancakes with eggs and my mom did when I was a kid, too. I love the idea of adding some vegetables in there as well.
