Instructions

First, gather all the necessary ingredients.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, flour, onion, egg, black pepper, and salt. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is well combined, achieving a batter-like consistency.
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Carefully drop 4-inch circles of the potato batter into the hot oil. Fry until the potato cakes are golden brown, approximately 4 to 5 minutes on each side.
