Perfected Potato Pattie
For the past five years my husband and I have been testing different way to make potato cakes. This attempt started like all the rest, we had some mashed potatoes that were going to go bad, so we made up some patties for breakfast. We tasted the first cakes to come out of the grease and were blown away by how good they were. My husband turned to me and said "you have to put this on your blog", so I grabbed the camera and snapped pictures of the last couple as we cooked them.
We started with regular mashed potatoes, using the electric mixer we add sour cream, cheddar cheese and finally diced onion. We made the patties on floured counter, we used quite a bit of flour.
Put the patties right into hot canola oil. Flipping them once after they were really crispy.
This is super easy and quick breakfast or snack! I refuse to throw away left overs and this is a great way to use up left over mashed potatoes. The key ingredient is the sour cream, we added it until it seemed like a good constancy. I didn't bother trying to figure out measurements since the amount of potatoes you have to start with will be different for everybody and change the amounts of all the other ingredients.
I hope you enjoy this simple breakfast dish!
