Ingredients

  • 3 Cups Mashed Potatoes
  • 1/4 Cup Flour
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 1-1 1/2 Cups Cheddar Cheese ,shredded
  • 2-3 teaspoons Fresh Thyme ,chopped
  • 1/4 Cup Seasoned bread crumbs

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. 
  • In a large bowl, mix cold mashed potatoes with a fork to loosen them back up. 
  • Add flour, eggs, cheese, and thyme and mix to combine.
  • Using an ice scream scoop or large spoon scoop out enough mashed potato mixture to form a ball about 3-4 inches in diameter.
  • Slightly flatten the ball and dip each side in bread crumbs. Set aside onto a plate and continue to make cakes until all of the potato mixture is gone.
  • Place a few cakes into your heated pan. Check periodically to make sure they are not burning and adjust heat as needed. I cooked mine about 3-5 minutes on each side. **If they seem to be browning too quickly....before inside of the cake and get hot....reduce heat slightly. 
  • Serve immediately or Place on an oven safe dish and place in about a 275 Degree oven to keep warm and crispy until you are ready to serve.
