Mashed Potato Cakes

This is certainly more work than mashed potatoes, but on the other hand, I do like the fact that you can do a lot of the work ahead of time and then just dip and fry them at the last minute.

Ingredients

– russet potatoes – salt and pepper – Parmesan cheese – fresh chives – egg yolk – eggs – bread crumbs – vegetable oil

Instructions

Place potatoes in a saucepan, cover with water one inch higher than potatoes, add 1 tablespoon salt, and stir to combine.

Step: 1

Bring to boil over high heat; reduce to medium low and simmer until potatoes are tender enough to mash, 8-10 minutes.

Step: 2

Step: 3

Drain potatoes; return them to the saucepan; let cool for a few minutes.

Step: 4

Add Parmesan, chives, egg yolk, 3/4 teaspoon salt (I did not, as my potatoes were already pretty salty), and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
