Cheesy Potato Cakes are a delicious way to turn simple ingredients into a crispy, comforting treat. Made with fluffy mashed potatoes and plenty of melted cheese, these golden cakes are pan-fried until perfectly crisp on the outside while staying soft and cheesy in the middle.

Recipe

Serves 4 · Total 30m

Ingredients

• 500g leftover mashed potato
• 3 tbsp potato flour, plus extra for dusting
• 200g mozzarella, cut into small cubes
• Salt and white pepper
• Oil, for shallow frying

Method

1. Combine the potato, potato flour, salt, and pepper with a wooden spoon. The mixture should be soft but hold its shape. Add a touch more potato flour if it feels sticky.
2. Take a few heaped tablespoons of potato mixture and cup it in your hand, making an indent. Add a cube of mozzarella, wrap the potato around it and shape it into a patty.
3. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Lightly dust the cakes with potato flour, and fry for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden and crisp.
4. Drain on a paper towel and serve.
