Here’s a quick list of what you’ll need.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups mashed potatoes
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 ounces butter half melted for dough and half for frying potato cakes.
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ large egg beaten

Instructions

Add the mashed potatoes to a large mixing bowl.

Add ¼ cup of the flour, the onion powder and salt. Mash together.

Add one ounce of melted butter and half of a beaten egg. Mix together to form a dough. Add additional flour as necessary.

Transfer the potato dough onto a floured surface. Knead lightly and flatten into a circle between ½ inch high.

Use a round cookie or scone cutter to cut out potato cakes. Re-knead the dough remnants to cut out more circular potato cakes.

Melt 1 ounce of butter in a large skillet. Add the potato cakes. Fry on medium-low heat for 8 to 10 minutes on each side, until they are a golden brown color.

Serve immediately as a side dish for grilled fish, pork chops or any main course of choice.
