Crispy Fried Mashed Potato Cakes: A Simple Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup leftover mashed potatoes, cooled
• 1 large egg
• 2.5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, or as needed

Instructions

1. Combine mashed potatoes, egg, flour, and salt in a bowl, mixing thoroughly until well combined.
2. Heat a thin layer of vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat until shimmering.
3. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding, gently drop 1/6 of the potato mixture into the hot pan and flatten each portion into a patty shape. Repeat until the pan is filled. Cook until golden brown, approximately 3 minutes per side, for a perfectly crispy finish.
