LEFTOVER MASHED POTATO CAKES



Leftover Mashed Potato Cakes image

I searched the internet for a recipe to use up some left over mashed potatoes. This is what I found and made. It's simple, easy, and a great way to use up left over mashed potatoes. This is one recipe that I always come to when I have leftover mashed potatoes. I once made these and I wasn't serving them right away, so I let them cool down then I froze them. A few weeks later I removed them from the freezer let them defrost and they were just as good. I have even added leftover chicken pieces and leftover meatloaf to this and it was yummy.

Tips for Perfect Mashed Potato Cakes:

- Choose the right potatoes: Use starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold for a smooth and creamy texture. - Boil potatoes until tender: Cook them until they can be easily pierced with a fork, but not overcook to prevent sogginess. - Mash potatoes thoroughly: Use a potato ricer or masher to ensure a smooth and lump-free consistency. - Season the mashed potatoes well: Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and any other desired seasonings to taste. - Incorporate flavorful mix-ins: Enhance the mashed potato cakes with ingredients like green onions, sesame seeds, cheese, or herbs. - Form the cakes carefully: Use a spoon or ice cream scoop to shape the potato mixture into uniform patties, ensuring they are not too thick or thin. - Pan-fry the cakes on medium heat: Cook them slowly until golden brown and crispy on both sides, flipping gently to avoid breaking. - Serve immediately with desired toppings: Enjoy the mashed potato cakes hot, garnished with additional green onions, sesame seeds, or a dollop of sour cream.
