Easy Mashed Potato Cakes

Step 1

Place your mashed potatoes, eggs, cheese, and one cup of flour into a large bowl.

Step 2

Stir until WELL combined.

Step 3

Gradually add up to one more cup of flour until the potato mixture become s thick enough to hold their shape on the griddle.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet with about 1/4" oil in the bottom over medium high heat.

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, drop the batter by 3/4 cup full (or smaller if you'd like) into the oil. Use a spoon to spread slightly into a round "pancake".

Step 6

Cook until the pancake is golden brown on one side. Then flip and continue to cook until the patty is golden brown on the second side and cooked through.

Step 7

Place a wire rack on a baking sheet. As you remove the potato cakes, place them on the wire rack so any extra oil drips down and they don't get soggy.

Step 8

Top with sour cream and green onions.

Step 9

Serve immediately.
