Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups mashed potatoes
1 egg
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon onion powder or 3 tablespoons grated fresh onions

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients.
  • If mashed potatoes are warm, chill for a couple of hours.
  • Form into 4-6 patties about 1/2" thick.
  • If mixture is too moist to form patties, add a little flour.
  • Dip in flour.
  • Saute slowly in butter, adding more as needed, until crispy on the outside and golden brown.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are the best choices for mashed potatoes, as they are starchy and fluffy. Red or white potatoes can also be used, but they will result in a denser mash.
  • Cook the potatoes properly: For the best results, boil the potatoes until they are tender but not mushy. Drain them well and mash them until smooth.
  • Season the mashed potatoes well: Be generous with the salt and pepper, and add other seasonings to taste, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or herbs.
  • Use a sturdy skillet: A cast iron skillet is ideal for cooking the potato cakes, as it will provide an evenly heated surface. A non-stick skillet can also be used.
  • Form the potato cakes carefully: Use a spoon or your hands to form the potato cakes, and be careful not to pack them too tightly. This will help them to cook evenly.
  • Fry the potato cakes in hot oil: The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when the potato cakes are added. This will help them to brown quickly and evenly.
  • Serve the potato cakes hot: These are best enjoyed hot out of the skillet. Serve them with your favorite toppings, such as cheese, sour cream, or salsa.

Conclusion:

Loaded mashed potato cakes are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. They are perfect for using up leftover mashed potatoes, and they can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that everyone will love. Whether you are serving them for a party or a simple weeknight meal, these potato cakes are sure to be a hit.
