Crispy Cheesy Potato Cakes 🥔🧀

“Oh heavens, these were such a hit! All the grandkids wanted seconds and grandpa ate three of them.
Safe to say I’ll be making them again and again.” ❤️

Ingredients

• 2 cups mashed potatoes (cold, leftover works best)
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 large egg
• 2 tbsp chopped parsley (fresh or dried)
• 1/4 cup flour (plus more for dusting)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tbsp butter or olive oil for frying

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine mashed potatoes, cheeses, egg, flour, parsley, salt, and pepper.
2. Mix until the dough holds together — if too sticky, add a bit more flour.
3. Shape into small patties (about 2–3 inches wide).
4. Heat butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat.
5. Pan-fry each patty for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
6. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle a little more parsley for garnish.
