📝 Instructions

10 steps
1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into large chunks.

2

Place the potato chunks into a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

3

Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool slightly before mashing them in a large bowl until smooth.

4

Add the chopped parsley, dill, green onion, Parmesan cheese, egg, flour, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to the mashed potatoes. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully combined.

5

Divide the potato mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 3/4-inch thick.

6

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

7

Place the potato cakes in the skillet, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.

8

Cook each side for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

9

Remove the potato cakes from the skillet and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

10

Serve hot as a side dish or with a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor.
