Panko Crusted Mashed Potato Cakes

We loved it, my leftover mashed potatoes were on dry side to start with. I did put about 1/2 cup of cheese. I seasoned the flour with season salt and garlic. Every thing else was following recipe. Perfect!!!

Very simple to make but you need the right consistency of potatoes too creamy will be difficult to work with. Also as another reviewer wrote, keep in mind you need to use the two eggs separately, one in the potatoes and one for the wash when you dredge in the flour. I did the recipe exactly and they came out beautifully. Crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy in the middle. I would also suggest using more oil though. I used a bit over 1/4 cup so the oil would bubble half way up the cake so when you flip them they get cooked nicely on the sides as well. EDIT: I forgot to add, after making the cakes themselves, I would suggest re-chilling them in the fridge for an hour since the potatoes will warm up after handling them and they stay well formed while frying when they go in the oil chilled.

These were delicious! I used green onion??, added about 1/2 C sharp cheddar cheese, added a little extra salt maybe 1/2 teas and about 1/2 teas of onion powder. I skipped the flour and egg on the outside of the pancakes and used the Panko crumbs directly on the outside of the pancakes. We will definitely be making ?these again! They would be delicious with sour cream or a spicy a aioli. ??

After reading comments about them being a little bland, I spiced mine up. I sautéed one onion, one garlic clove and one chili pepper in some butter and caramelized it. I added the onion mixture with approximately half a cup of shredded cheddar cheese, a quarter teaspoon of salt and a half tsp dried parsley. I topped them with sour cream mixed with chopped green onion and no salt seasoning salt. Spicy and delicious!

These are delicious! They are a little hard to work with but I managed ok and they ended up holding their shape. I think it's a good base recipe and anything could be added, like cheese, or bacon :)
