Ingredients
- 3 cups mashed potatoes
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 stalks green onions (finely chopped)
- 1 egg
- 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons garlic powder
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, flour, green onions, egg, cheddar cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Step 2
Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Step 3
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the potato cakes into the skillet. Do not overcrowd; cook in batches if necessary.
Step 4
Cook the potato cakes for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as needed to avoid burning.
Step 5
Transfer the cooked potato cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 6
Serve hot, topped with sour cream, a sprinkle of extra chopped green onions, or your favorite dip on the side. Enjoy!
