Ingredients

  • 3 cups Mashed Potatoes
  • 0.5 cup Rice Flour
  • 2 stalks Green Onion
  • 1 Egg
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 0.5 tsp Salt
  • 0.25 tsp Black Pepper

Instructions

  1. 1In a large bowl, combine the 3 cups of Mashed Potatoes, 0.5 cup of Rice Flour, the 2 stalks of Green Onion (chopped), and the 1 Egg. Add the 0.5 tsp of Salt and the 0.25 tsp of Black Pepper.
  2. 2Mix all the ingredients together with a spoon or your hands until they are well combined and form a cohesive dough.
  3. 3Place a 12-inch skillet over medium heat, which is about 350°F (175°C). Add the 2 tbsp of Butter to the skillet and let it melt, swirling the pan to coat the bottom.
  4. 4Take about 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture at a time and shape it into small, round patties, about 1/2-inch thick.
  5. 5Carefully place the shaped potato cakes into the hot skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes on the first side, until they are golden brown and crispy.
  6. 6Flip the potato cakes over and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes on the second side, until they are also golden brown and crispy. The cakes are done when they feel firm to the touch and are heated through.
  7. 7Remove the potato cakes from the skillet and serve them hot.
