Ingredients
- 2 cups mashed potatoes (leftover or freshly made)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (or breadcrumbs)
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 green onions, finely chopped (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- 2 tablespoons butter or oil (for frying)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together the mashed potatoes, shredded cheese, Parmesan cheese, flour, beaten egg, green onions, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and parsley. Stir until well combined.
- Take about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and form it into small patties. Flatten slightly with your hands.
- Heat butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Place the patties in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
- Serve warm with sour cream, ketchup, or your favorite dipping sauce.
