Potato Cakes are a great side dish, appetizer, or even a tasty snack to use leftover Mashed Potatoes. Potato Cakes can be pan-fried or oven-baked.
Ingredients:
==========
2 Cups Cooked Potato, riced
2 Scallions, finely chopped
1 Large Egg, well-beaten
1/4 Cup All-purpose Flour
1/4 Cup Shredded Cheese (Asiago or Parmesan)
Pinch of Kosher Salt
Vegetable Oil (as needed)
Directions:
=========
In a medium-sized bowl, carefully mix Riced Potatoes, chopped Scallions, Flour, Cheese, and the Egg.
Form into individual patties, just larger than the width of a US Silver Dollar (2 inch diameter).
