Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1.5 cups Smoked cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Bread crumbs
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Butter
Instructions
Peel and boil the russet potatoes in a large pot of salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and mash them in a large bowl until smooth. Allow them to cool slightly.
Mix the mashed potatoes with smoked cheddar cheese, green onions (finely sliced), salt, and black pepper. Stir together until well combined.
Shape the potato mixture into small, flat cakes about 3 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick.
Prepare three separate bowls: place the flour in one, beat the eggs in the second, and combine the bread crumbs with Parmesan cheese in the third.
Dip each potato cake into the flour first, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat them thoroughly in the Parmesan-bread crumb mixture.
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Cook the potato cakes in the skillet, 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Place the cooked potato cakes on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve warm, garnished with extra green onions or a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
