Yesterday's dinner was an attempt to use my leftover mashed potatoes in a more interesting way than simply microwaving them. While there's nothing wrong with lovely mash on it's own, I am a bit tired of it since it has been a main staple of several dinners this week. Therefore, I present: the potato cake.
Easy to make using leftovers, these were tasty and quick to prepare. I liked that the added ingredients (eggs, parmesan, salt and pepper, onion) were all things I already had on hand. While these are hardly the fanciest of dinners, they were filling and made a nice mid-week option. If you have leftover mash lying around, give it a try!
Ingredients:
Leftover mashed potatoes (approx. 2 cups)
1 egg
1/3 cup parmesan cheese (or more to taste)
Salt and Pepper
1/2 a small onion, finely chopped
Olive oil for frying
Method:
Mix the mashed potatoes with the egg, parmesan cheese, onion and seasoning. Make into patties and fry in the olive oil over medium heat until browned and crispy. Enjoy!
