Step 1

These may be dipped in flour or dipped in egg, then in flour if desired. They may also go through a breading process of dipping in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs.

Step 2

If no leftover mashed potatoes are on hand, it will take about 3 to 4 medium sized raw potatoes to make about two cups of mashed.

Step 3

These may be made with leftover boiled potatoes, also. Simply mash, mix with a bit of butter and milk and proceed with the recipe.

Step 4

This is a great recipe for “planned” leftovers – simply make extra mashed potatoes so there will be plenty to make potato cakes.

Step 5

Potato cakes can be formed, make them rather thin, about 3/4″ thick, placed on plastic wrap and frozen. Once frozen, bag for later use. No need to thaw, simply cook as directed.
