Crispy Onion and Cheddar Mashed Potato Cakes

subheading: Ingredients:

2 cups leftover mashed potatoes, chilled

½ cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

¼ cup green onions, finely chopped

1 egg, beaten

½ cup all-purpose flour, for coating

½ teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil, for frying

subheading: Directions:

In a large bowl, combine mashed potatoes, cheddar cheese, green onions, and the beaten egg. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

Form the mixture into patties, about ½ inch thick.

Place the flour in a shallow dish. Lightly coat each patty with flour on both sides.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Transfer the potato cakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Serve warm, optionally with sour cream or your favorite dipping sauce.
