A real kid pleaser. Best made with fresh potatoes, as opposed to instant, with a stiff potato consistency. I just boil a few potatoes and smash them with a fork.
Ingredients:
2 cups cooked smashed potatoes (plain, boiled and fork-smashed potatoes work best)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (can substitute cheddar)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder or 2 tablespoons thin sliced green onions
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 cup breadcrumbs
1/4-1/2 cup vegetable oil
Directions:
1. Combine first 7 ingredients; chill.
2. Shape mixture into 6 patties.
3. Dip each patty into lightly beaten egg then lightly coat with breadcrumbs.
4. Heat vegetable oil and fry over medium heat until lightly browned, turning once.
5. Tip: If you feel your potatoes are too watery, lightly dust with flour prior to dipping into the egg wash.
