Irish Potato Cakes (Dairy & Egg-Free)

Ingredients

• 2 cups Mashed potatoes (leftover)
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend)
• 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Dairy-free butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• to taste Salt and pepper

Instructions

1. 1In a large bowl, combine the 2 cups of mashed potatoes, 0.5 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of green onions, and 2 tablespoons of dairy-free butter, melted. Add salt and pepper to taste.
2. 2Mix everything together with your hands or a sturdy spoon until a cohesive dough forms. If the dough feels too sticky to handle, add a little more of the all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it's manageable.
3. 3Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Gently shape each portion into a small, flat patty, about 1/2-inch thick.
4. 4Place a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet and let it heat up until it shimmers, which should take about 1-2 minutes.
5. 5Carefully place the potato patties into the hot skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes on the first side, until they are golden brown and crispy.
6. 6Flip the potato cakes over using a spatula. Cook for another 5 to 7 minutes on the second side, until they are also golden brown and crispy.
7. 7Remove the potato cakes from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve hot.
