Mix Ingredients: Combine the mashed potatoes with eggs, flour, and any optional ingredients like diced onions or cheese. If the mixture feels too runny or too stiff, adjust by adding a little more flour or some milk.
Form the Cakes: Shape the mixture into patties. If the mixture sticks to your hands, lightly flouring your hands can help.
Fry the Cakes: Heat oil in a skillet and fry the patties until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides. Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the patties to avoid sticking.
Serve: Serve the potato cakes hot, topped with optional toppings like sour cream, chives, or additional cheese.
Conclusion
Potato cakes are a fantastic recipe for utilizing leftover ingredients and can be dressed up with a wide variety of flavors and toppings.
They offer a crispy exterior with a soft, warm interior that can complement any meal or stand alone with a simple side salad.
