Description
Delicious and crispy bites of mashed potato and cheddar cheese, perfect for snacks or appetizers.
Ingredients
- 2 cups mashed potatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine mashed potatoes, cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, green onions, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Shape the mixture into small cakes, about the size of a golf ball, and flatten them slightly.
- Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Test the oil by dropping a small piece of the mixture into the pan; it should sizzle.
- Carefully place the cakes into the hot oil, frying for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the cakes and drain on paper towels before serving warm.
