My mom use to make these all the time with left over mashed potatoes. She would put onions and break up bread crumbs without the crust from a loaf of bread and fry them up in butter. I liked them better than regular mashed potatoes. I made some changes by adding cheese and bacon yum.

How To Make my crispy mashed potato cakes

  • Step 1
    Mixed all ingredients except butter together. Shape into patties. Place in refrigerator and chill at least an hour.
  • Step 2
    Melt butter in skillet. Cast iron works great. Fry in batches don't over crowd the pan. Be sure to get each side brown and crispy.
