Delicious Mashed Potato Cakes

These mashed potato cakes are not just a way to use up leftovers; they’re a culinary adventure waiting to happen! Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, these cakes are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Pair them with your favorite sauce or just enjoy them by themselves!

Ingredients

2 cups of day-old mashed potatoes
1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
1/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup of chopped green onions
1 large egg
1/2 tsp of salt
1/4 tsp of black pepper
Oil for frying (vegetable or canola works well)
Sour cream or yogurt for serving (optional)

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the day-old mashed potatoes, flour, grated parmesan cheese, and chopped green onions. Mix until everything is well combined.
Add in the egg, salt, and black pepper. Continue to stir until you form a thick batter that holds together. If it’s too wet, sprinkle in a bit more flour.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add enough oil to cover the bottom. Once the oil is hot, you’re ready to fry!
Scoop about 1/4 cup of the mixture for each cake and carefully drop it into the skillet. Use the back of your spatula to flatten it slightly.
Cook each cake for about 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown before flipping. Let the other side cook for another 3-4 minutes.
Once cooked, transfer the cakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve these crispy delights hot, and feel free to dollop some sour cream or yogurt on top if you’d like!

And there you have it, a scrumptious way to transform those leftover mashed potatoes into something special. Enjoy the crunch, savor the flavor, and never waste those delicious potatoes again!
