  • Squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the potatoes before mixing them with the other ingredients. This will help the potato cakes hold their shape better.
  • Be gentle when mixing the potato mixture. Over-mixing can make the potato cakes tough.
  • If the potato mixture is too wet, add a little more flour. If it's too dry, add a little more milk.
  • Heat the oil over medium heat before cooking the potato cakes. This will help prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Cook the potato cakes for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they're golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve the potato cakes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.
