Cheesy Potato Patties Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups mashed potatoes (fresh or leftover)
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
• 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (plus more for dusting)
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Mixture:
   • In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, shredded cheese, green onions, flour, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
2. Shape the Patties:
   • Scoop about 1/4 cup of the mixture and shape it into a patty. Repeat with the remaining mixture, placing the patties on a plate or baking sheet. Dust lightly with flour on both sides to help prevent sticking.
3. Fry the Patties:
   • In a large skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the patties in the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary.
   • Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
4. Serve:
   • Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or as a side dish.
