Marvelous Mashed Potato Cakes

Mashed potato cakes are a delicious combination of green onions, cheese, and my secret recipe for mashed potatoes. The outcome is just incredible. Believe me, friends and family will beg for the recipe.
As always, you can vary the spices, but I think you will enjoy the dish as is. Give it a try and let us know what you think.

Wonderful recipe! I really like the way you spread the mix in a pan, chilled it, and cut it in circles. That's a really nice look. I volunteered as a cook at a homeless shelter, and we often had a LOT of mashed potatoes left over, and I mean a WHOLE lot - buckets. I said to my colleagues, "Let's make potato patties". We did, and WOWOWOW! I'll be volunteering again, and this time I'm going to use your technique. The portion uniformity has a very clean, appealing look. They can be weighed and frozen. Fabulous! The only changes I would make would be turkey bacon instead of pork (for health reasons), and bake them instead of frying for the same reason. Oven at 450F to 500F preheated - a fast bake to make the cakes go POOF in the oven. Arrange cakes on a baking sheet 1 inch apart for even heat and browning. Drizzle or spray light veggie oil on EACH cake on BOTH sides. Throw them in the even. Turn them once till golden brown. Cooking time total around 15 to twenty minutes. You can feed a crowd with these beauties. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise!

Oh man these made me salivate! I always wanted to do something else with mashed Po's. I will definitely give this a try. And soon! Thank you. 👍

[@susanhernandez8088]

Delicious! Thanks for sharing! It's a keeper!

[@jasondaniel918]

Your recipe is an elevated version of what I grew up with. My mom always made too many mashed potatoes, on purpose. The left overs would be refrigerated. The next day she would make fried mashed potatoes. She pretty much did them as you indicated, but no cheese and she formed the patties by hand. She fried them in good ol' vein clogging, heart stopping lard until they were dark brown and crunchy outside. We ate the patties with gravy, sweet/sour red cabbage and usually sausages. Dark beer to drink.

[@TheCooknShare]

Hi. Sounds good and I love dark beer.

[@jasondaniel918]

@white zebra Yup! Mom's family was of German heritage. Dad's was Scotts. Alcohol (in moderation!!!) was normal for us - and our extended families. The dark beer was Yuengling Bros. "Porter," which was commonly prescribed by doctors for their cardiac patients back in that day. It was considered health "food" and always welcomed at the table.

I did something similar just now but instead of green onion, I sauteed a medium yellow onion in a little butter and then let it simmer in some Worcestershire sauce. Without a doubt, that's my favorite thing I've ever made.

[@happycat0411]

I always like to leave the potato peels on when I mash the potatoes for the extra fiber content but great video and nice idea to use the Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's leftovers. I also like adding corn, cilantro, and the fried bacon oil to the mashed potatoes for extra flavor and texture but just use whatever you have that's available in the kitchen pantry and fridge. Cooking is always improvising with what you have that is readily available.

the original potato cakes stem from left over mash potatoes. we would use them up and make up cakes, adding, cooked onions, celery, cheese in butter. mix ,egg, salt, pepper .. then place the cakes in flour, then fry in light oil until brown.(Bacon grease)(Size of fist)People do your research this goes way back its a pour mans dish, from the south, i know, we also make potato candy. from mash potatoes.: (yours is the CLOSEST I've seen yet on the internet. ) awesome. course your older too. nothing personnel. great job, hillbilly me.

Great variation on this favourite recipe. I also make tuna or salmon cakes, by adding it to the mashed potato base with some parsley and served with fresh lemon.

I've been cooking now for about 63 years, and often come up with my own recipes. I think you're using the word expensive similarly to how those of German descent use the word "dear", meaning costly to them. Sorry, I do not know a parable that uses that term "exquisite and expensive". My dear husband is a retired psychologist, so I had to learn to be very literal when speaking to him.
