Peel the potatoes and chop them into chunks. Boil them in salted water for 10-12 minutes or until fork-tender.
While the potatoes are boiling, steam the broccoli florets for 5-7 minutes until they are tender but still bright green. Set aside to cool slightly.
Drain the cooked potatoes and mash them in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
Finely chop the steamed broccoli and add it to the mashed potatoes.
Mix in the shredded cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until fully combined.
Crack the eggs into the mixture and mix again to create a sticky, cohesive dough.
Form the mixture into small, flat medallion-shaped patties, about 2 inches in diameter.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Cook the medallions in batches, frying each side for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Add more oil to the pan as needed between batches.
Once cooked, place the medallions on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the Potato and Broccoli Medallions warm as an appetizer, snack, or side dish. Optional: pair with your favorite dipping sauce such as ranch, aioli, or marinara.
