Number Of Ingredients 9

2 c leftover garlic mashed potatoes
1 c mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp pepper
1 large egg, slightly beaten (for coating)
1 c soft bread crumbs
1/2 c canola oil

Steps:

  • 1. Combine first 6 ingredients; shape into 6 patties.
  • 2. Dip patties into egg, and lightly coat with breadcrumbs.
  • 3. Pour oil into a large, heavy skillet. Fry patties in hot oil over medium heat until lightly browned, turning once.

  • 5. NOTE: You can substitute 2 cups cooked, mashed potatoes plus 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder for the garlic mashed potatoes.

Tips:

  • Use a combination of all-purpose flour and cornstarch for a crispy coating that holds well.
  • Season the potato mixture generously with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices for extra flavor.
  • Heat the cooking oil to the proper temperature before adding the potato patties to prevent them from sticking and ensure even cooking.
  • Flip the potato patties carefully to avoid breaking them apart. Cook them until golden brown and crispy on both sides.
  • Serve the potato patties immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, mayonnaise, or salsa.
