Mashed Potato Cakes Directions:
Peel the potatoes and cut them into large chunks.
Place in a pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt.
Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender.
Drain and return potatoes to the pot.
Mash thoroughly using a potato masher or fork until smooth.
If desired, add 2-3 tablespoons of hot water or fat-free milk for a creamier texture. Season with salt and black pepper.
Measure out 2 cups of mashed potatoes for the recipe.
In a large bowl, combine mashed potatoes, egg, green onions, flour or breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions. Shape each into a patty about ½ inch thick.
Heat butter or oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Fry patties for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer cooked cakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve warm with sour cream or ketchup, if desired.
