Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 0.5 cup Bleu cheese
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Green onions (chopped)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Peel and quarter the potatoes. Place them in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for about 15 minutes, or until tender.
Drain the potatoes and mash them in a large mixing bowl with a potato masher or fork until smooth. Allow the mashed potatoes to cool slightly.
Mix in the bleu cheese, flour, unsalted butter, green onions, egg, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Form the mixture into small patties, approximately 3 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick.
Spread the panko breadcrumbs on a plate. Gently press each potato patty into the breadcrumbs, coating both sides evenly.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, fry the potato cakes in batches, cooking each side for 2–3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the cooked potato cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve warm as an appetizer, side dish, or even a light main course. Garnish with extra chopped green onions or a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
