Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 3 stalks Scallions
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks. Place them in a large pot filled with cold, salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the hot pot. Mash them thoroughly until smooth. Let them cool slightly for 5 minutes.
While the potatoes are cooling, chop the scallions and parsley finely.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, butter, flour, eggs, scallions, parsley, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until a dough-like consistency forms.
Divide the mixture evenly and shape it into small patties, about 3 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the patties in the pan (work in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding).
Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve warm as a standalone dish or as a side, pairing them with sour cream or your favorite dipping sauce.
