Fried Potato Cakes Recipe

Introduction

Start by gathering all your ingredients: mashed potatoes, flour, salt, eggs, and your choice of oil for frying. This dish is simple to make and can be customized with additional spices or ingredients according to your preferences.

Making the Batter

In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes with flour, a pinch of salt, and eggs. Mix well until the ingredients form a thick batter. If your mixture is too runny, add a bit more flour to achieve the desired consistency.

Frying the Potato Cakes

Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, spoon portions of the potato batter into the pan, flattening them slightly to form patties. Fry each side until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Once cooked, transfer the potato cakes to a paper towel to drain any excess oil.

Serving

Serve your potato cakes while they're warm. They can be enjoyed on their own, or with a variety of toppings such as sour cream, chives, or even apple sauce for a sweet twist.
