- Make sure to peel and cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces so that they cook evenly.
- Boil the potatoes in salted water until they are tender, but not overcooked. You should be able to easily pierce them with a fork.
- Drain the potatoes well and then mash them until smooth. Do not over-mash them, as this will make them gluey.
- Add the butter, milk, salt, and pepper to the mashed potatoes and stir until well combined.
- Form the mashed potatoes into 8 equal-sized cakes. You can use a spoon or your hands to do this.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the mashed potato cakes and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
