Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Use starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold, as they mash well and hold their shape when cooked.
  • Cook the potatoes thoroughly: Make sure the potatoes are fully cooked before mashing them. This will prevent the cakes from falling apart.
  • Mash the potatoes until smooth: Use a potato ricer or a fine-mesh sieve to get a smooth and lump-free mashed potato mixture.
  • Season the mashed potatoes well: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste before forming the cakes.
  • Chill the mashed potato mixture: Refrigerate the mashed potato mixture for at least 30 minutes before forming the cakes. This will help them hold their shape better.
  • Form the cakes carefully: Use a spoon or your hands to form the cakes, making sure they are evenly shaped and not too thick.
  • Pan-fry the cakes until golden brown: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the cakes until they are golden brown on both sides.
  • Serve the cakes warm: Serve the mashed potato cakes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.
