Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 cup Blue cheese crumbles
- 1 cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 3 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes, then cut them into chunks. Place the chunks into a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain well and transfer to a large bowl.
Using a potato masher or fork, mash the potatoes until smooth. Allow them to cool slightly before proceeding.
Add the blue cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, flour, egg, salt, and black pepper to the mashed potatoes. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
Shape the potato mixture into small patties, about 2-3 inches wide and ½-inch thick. Place the patties on a parchment-lined baking sheet as you form them.
In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Once melted and shimmering, add the potato cakes in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook each potato cake for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy. Remove from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Repeat the process with the remaining potato cakes, adding more butter and olive oil if needed.
Serve the blue cheese potato cakes warm, garnished with additional green onions or a dollop of sour cream if desired.
