Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Fried Mashed Potato Cakes.
Step 1
Start by taking a mixing bowl and combining your cooled mashed potatoes with an egg, flour, and a pinch of salt.
Step 2
Give it a good mix until everything is nicely blended together.
Step 3
Next, heat a thin layer of vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat, creating the perfect environment for frying.
Step 4
Now, scoop out about one-sixth of your potato mixture and gently drop it into the hot pan.
Step 5
Flatten it slightly to form a lovely little patty.
Step 6
Repeat this process, adding more patties to the pan, but be careful not to overcrowd them; we want each one to have enough space to crisp up beautifully.
Step 7
Let the patties cook for about three minutes on each side, or until they turn a delightful golden brown and develop a crispy exterior.
Step 8
Once they’re ready, remove them from the pan and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Enjoy the satisfying crunch and comforting flavors of your homemade potato patties!.
