Kickin' Kentucky Fried Tater Cakes

Lord Honey, I learned from my Granny not to let anything go to waste--and one tasty example of her thriftiness was when she took left-over mashed taters from dinner and made her crispy, creamy, golden brown tater cakes for lunch the next day. Children, don't y'all ever let me hear of ya throwin' out perfectly good taters, when y'all could be makin' my "Kentucky Fried Tater Cakes w/ Kickin' Lord Honey Sauce"--I might just have to throw a hissy-fit.
