Peel and chop the russet potatoes into chunks. Place them in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 12-15 minutes or until fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash them with a potato masher until smooth. Stir in the butter, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Allow the mashed potatoes to cool slightly, then mix in the shredded cheddar cheese, finely chopped scallions, and a beaten egg. Stir until well combined.
Gradually mix in the all-purpose flour until the mixture is cohesive and can be shaped into patties.
Form the potato mixture into round patties, approximately 3 inches in diameter and ½ inch thick.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp. Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Repeat with the remaining potato mixture, adding more oil to the skillet if necessary.
Serve warm, garnished with extra scallions or a dollop of sour cream, if desired. Enjoy your Potaddies!
