Crispy Potato Cakes

A fresh and crispy potato change with your main meal!

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter (plus more if needed)
• 2 cups cold mashed potatoes
• 1 egg
• 1–4 tablespoons flour (adjust based on potato consistency)
• Salt, to taste
• Pepper, to taste

Optional Add-ins:

• Chopped chives
• Cheese (small chunks preferred over grated)
• Sautéed onions
• Roasted garlic
• Sliced green onions
• Leftover corned beef
• Cooked bacon
• Sea salt

Method

1. Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and melt butter.
2. In a bowl, mix mashed potatoes, egg, and enough flour to form a thick batter that holds its shape when mounded. Add salt and pepper to taste.
3. Gently fold in any desired optional add-ins.
4. Shape a quarter of the mixture into a round patty, similar to a burger patty.
5. Place the patty in the hot pan and slowly brown in the butter, flipping once.
6. Cook until both sides are golden brown and crispy, with a creamy center. Serve immediately.
