Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1.5 cups Smoked cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Bread crumbs
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Butter
Directions
Step 1
Peel and boil the russet potatoes in a large pot of salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Step 2
Drain the potatoes and mash them in a large bowl until smooth. Allow them to cool slightly.
Step 3
Mix the mashed potatoes with smoked cheddar cheese, green onions (finely sliced), salt, and black pepper. Stir together until well combined.
Step 4
Shape the potato mixture into small, flat cakes about 3 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick.
Step 5
Prepare three separate bowls: place the flour in one, beat the eggs in the second, and combine the bread crumbs with Parmesan cheese in the third.
Step 6
Dip each potato cake into the flour first, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat them thoroughly in the Parmesan-bread crumb mixture.
Step 7
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 8
Cook the potato cakes in the skillet, 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Place the cooked potato cakes on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 10
Serve warm, garnished with extra green onions or a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
