POTATO PATTIES | FRIED POTATO CAKES
Steps:
- In a large mixing bowl, mix together the cold mashed potatoes and the egg. Make sure the egg is evenly distributed through the potatoes.
- Add the grated onion, flour, salt, and pepper and use a fork to gently mix in the ingredients.
- Add enough oil to a large fry pan so that it is approximately 1/2" deep and place over medium heat. Allow the oil to come to temperature, about 350°F.
- Scoop scant 1/2 cups of the potato mixture and gently drop them into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan -- cook no more than 3-4 patties at a time. Gently, flatten each mound into a patty shape with a spatula.
- Fry for about 2 1/2 to 3 minutes on the first side, until golden brown. Then, slide the spatula under the patty and turn it over. You'll find enlisting a second utensil makes the flip a bit easier! Then, cook for another 2 to 2 1/2 minutes.
- Transfer the cooked patty to a cooling rack placed over paper towels. Allow to cool slightly, serve, and enjoy!

FRIED POTATO CAKE
This is a recipe from a cookbook called "Classic International Recipes". It is supposed to be one of the national dishes of Switzerland and is often served daily. It is often served with "Veal with Cream Sauce". The only thing I changed was to add some garlic (as usual). Please note: This is supposed to make one big cake, that is then quartered to serve 4. Chilling time is not included in the cooking time....I cook the potatoes in the morning, and prepare the cake in the evening.

Tips:
- For the best results, use russet potatoes, as they have a high starch content, which helps to bind the cakes together.
- Be sure to grate the potatoes finely, as this will help them to cook evenly.
- Squeeze out as much excess moisture from the grated potatoes as possible. This will help to prevent the cakes from being too soggy.
- Use a large skillet or griddle to cook the potato cakes. This will help to prevent them from overcrowding and sticking to each other.
- Cook the potato cakes over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from burning on the outside while still cooking through on the inside.
- Serve the potato cakes immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include sour cream, salsa, guacamole, or cheese.
