Another winner from the Schwan's people! As a child, I liked "tato cakes" better than the original potatoes. Still love them! This is SO simple.

How To Make mashed potato cakes

Step 1

Beat egg into potatoes, along with 2 tsp. flour (if needed). Divide potatoes to make 8 portions and form into patties.

Step 2

Mix together 1/2 cup flour, the garlic, salt and pepper and dredge uncooked patties with flour mixture.
Step 3

Heat oil and butter in large skillet over medium-high heat and cook patties 10-12 minutes or until a golden brown on each side. Turn patties halfway through cooking time.
Step 4

Great with sour cream, bacon bits and chives!
