Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups leftover mashed potatoes
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the leftover mashed potatoes, flour, egg, green onions, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated and form a dough-like consistency.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add enough oil to coat the bottom.
- Take a small portion of the potato mixture and form it into a patty, about 1/2 inch thick.
- Place the patty in the hot skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Repeat with the remaining mixture, adding more oil as necessary.
- Once cooked, transfer the potato cakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve warm, garnished with additional green onions if desired.
Notes
- These potato cakes can be customized with your choice of herbs or spices.
- For a cheesy version, add grated cheese to the mixture.
