Recipe:
INGREDIENTS:
4 large potatoes, boiled and mashed
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup oil (for frying)
INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare the Potato Mixture:
In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, shredded cheese, breadcrumbs, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Form the Patties:
Take a small portion of the potato mixture and shape it into a patty. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
Coat the Patties:
Place the flour in a shallow dish, the beaten egg in another dish, and some additional breadcrumbs in a third dish.
Dredge each patty in the flour, then dip it into the beaten egg, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs.
Fry the Patties:
Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the patties in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the patties for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the patties from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve:
Serve the crispy cheesy potato patties hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired. Enjoy them on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce.
These Crispy Cheesy Potato Patties are a delightful treat that combines the comforting flavors of potatoes and cheese with a satisfying crunch. Perfect for any occasion, they are sure to be a crowd-pleaser!
