- These Potato Cakes are so simple and delicious and a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. Potato Cakes can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, a snack, and make a wonderful side dish.
Kids also LOVE potato cakes! I also love that you can add a wide variety of ingredients to give them your very own twist.
Basic Potato Cake
Ingredients
2 cups mashed potatoes
2 eggs
1/2 to 1 cup of flour
vegetable oil about 1 cup just enough to shallow fry the cakes
1/2 cup of additional flour to dredge cakes in before frying
Other Ingredient Options
1 Tbsp of dry ranch seasoning
Meat: diced ham, crumbled bacon, crumbled sausage, chopped turkey,
Cheese: shredded cheddar, shredded mozzarella, shredded gouda, shredded colby jack
chopped green onion or chives
sauteed onion and peppers
chopped asparagus
Instructions
In a bowl combine mashed potatoes, eggs, and flour. Add enough flour to form a patty, the mixture should be slightly sticky. Stir well. Place about 1/2 cup of flour on a plate, form mixture into cakes and dredge in the flour. In a large skillet heat oil on medium heat. Once oil is hot place floured cake in oil and cook for a couple minutes on each side. Cakes should be golden brown on each side. Top with sour cream and chopped green onion.

My mom used to make this potato pancake for me as a child. I can remember it vividly. The potato cakes with onions in it, and she served it with applesauce. Thanks Mom I Love You......
What a sweet memory!
Yep! Me too! I can actually taste them with the memory of them..I was a 1960s child.
I just made these for the first time ever and a Little bit of advice for anyone, someone like me. Use less flour! Whole cup of flour in the egg and mashed potato mix was way way too much, to then put it on more flour. Also add more seasonings, spices flavoring to ur egg potato mix because all that flour easily takes it away and left mine really Bland. Super happy I found this easy recipe! Going to have fun tweaking it just a little to suit my family's needs. Thank you
I wish I read your comment before I made it. I completely agree. Less egg needs to be added so that less flour is needed. Absolutely more spices.
My natural instinct was to use less flour as well!
Glad I'm reading this before making them.
Thank you I will use your tweaks!!
Mom used to cook these for me as a kid.Im an old geezer now & wanted some of these but didn't know how to make them.After watching 3-4 vids on how to make these I tried your method. Hot dang,sooo glad I did and now that I know I'll be making them much more often.Thank you for you video.It made me so happy to have those memories back again.They were delicious. Thx again.
Watched several videos, I’ll be trying yours for sure. Best video on potato cakes I’ve seen. Thanks.
Thanks so much for watching!
mama was born in 1920 and often made potato cakes from leftover mashed potatoes, but she never showed me how she did it. now i know her method. thank you very much for this video!
You are very welcome! I hope you enjoy them! 😊
Your original recipe was enjoyed by me, prepared by my papaw in the mornings post holiday visits beach home to WV. They are, in my opinion, the best way to enjoy potatoes. As a child, I only tolerated mashed potatoes, however these were my favorite way to enjoy potatoes and still is. Thanks for sharing this WV Post Holiday/Visitin’, papaw cookin’ for the young’ns memory.
You’re very welcome! Love your sweet memories.😊
My Mom made potato cakes when I was a kid. I loved them.
Thank you! These look like the potato pancakes my grandma used to make.
We got potato cakes as a treat when I was a kid.
My Grandfather was orphaned at 4 after his Father died leaving his Mother with 9 children. It was the Great Depression . He found good employment as an adult but he never wasted a thing and when there were leftover potatoes you knew what was for snack that night. I sure loved those things. One of these days I might try to make me some now that I know how 🙃
Great recipe, you can make these without the egg and flour in the potato mix if you prefer a lighter version I only use it to coat my tatties before I fry them
Looks fantastic. Will be giving these a try.
These look delicious. I will try them for sure. Thank you!
Beautiful golden brown…looks delicious!

Love potato cakes. Your ingredients are much better though. I don't dust in flour but will going forward. It made them crispier. Take care. Love watching your recipes. God bless you and yours.

Made these today using bacon. They were a hit!
Great idea to use up leftover mashed potatoes.
Thank you for sharing this. Arby's no longer has potato cakes, so I've got to find a way to create them at home. And, with your help, It hink I can do it.
Arby’s potato cakes were my favorite! Was so upset when I went there 2 weeks ago and was told they no longer have them!
Will try it Thank you 👍

Awesome! Thank you for letting me know! 😁
Yum!
I'm going to try this tonight!
I’m excited for you to try them! Thanks so much!
Left over mashed potatoes? That was enough to feed the 82nd Airborne.
Thank you so much for the video I am glad I saw the video going to make right now before work God Bless.
You’re very welcome! I’m excited for you to make them. 😊
Yummm
I would’ve swore this was another Great Depression idea my grandmother, and great Gma, came up with, but I guess not.😂
I never thought to ask her how she made them before she passed. I’ve tried making them numerous of times, but mine always fall apart, and now I see why.
I’m glad I found your recipe, and look forward to trying it in the morning, it’s been almost 20yrs. Thank You
I made your recipe it was great everyone loved them will definitely make again. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much for letting me know! I’m so glad they were a hit!
my parents used to make these for me all the time but I could never figure out what I was missing to make them for myself. TYVM !!
My dad used to make them all the time for breakfast with eggs! Yummmmmm
Yes they are so good for breakfast! Thanks!
Thanks❤
Just made some of these and they were great. Had sliced up a piece of ham and that was all we used. Fluffy and yummy. It was really good with some Ranch sauce.
I’m so glad you enjoyed them! Thanks for letting me know. 😊
You look a lot like Carrie Fisher. Very pretty lady.
I love them thangs, i use cheese and chopped jalapenos
Tried this recipe using boiled potatoes carrots peas green beans corn sazon Goya and a little adobo seasoning with cumin I mixed with egg and bread crumbs came out so good topped my cakes with salsa
I'm definitely making these!! Can you make them ahead, dredged and all? Or should I wait until they are ready to fry to dredge in flour?
Those look good and ham is tasty but what could be better than bacon & cheese in them? I like using Tillamook brand smoked cheddar baby! You'll love me like how I love you!! Ka-chow!
You did a great job well with your flipping something like that always flip it away from yourself
Looks delicious! Just subscribed 👍🏼🇺🇸
Thank you so much!
I'm hungry
Just like my momma made them. I just had a thought maybe ad some cooked breakfast sausage too the potatoes and add sharp cheddar cheese. Mmmm. Good video.
That’s sounds yummy! That’s why I love potato cakes, you can add whatever you want! Thanks for watching!
I agree with some comments below.. Nice recipe i will follow thru on
Thanks
Thanks so much for watching!
My Jewish grandmother would be smiling.... 🍴🍸
Thanks, we both have similar channels and I always want to do my best to search out other home chef channels - we have to stick together :)
New sub, sure glad to find you . 👍🏼😊
Thanks so much for subscribing! 😊
Hey Kristi! Great recipe! I love potato pancakes! I just made mini potato puffs which are very similar. Have a great weekend!
Thanks! I will have to check out potato puffs.
I’m Irish and they are a favourite here I make them all the time👍 I hope you don’t my asking but your carved wooden fruit bowl on the counter top did you get it in Co Clare that’s where I’m from and I know the guy who makes them ?
No it was a gift from a friend and he got it in China. So cool that you noticed!
☺
🙌🏽🙌🏽
papa frita
My partner isn't a fan of sweets so I'm going to be making a multi layer cake with potato cakes as the 'cake'
Love that idea! 😊
This recipe originated from Ireland just after the famine. The Irish version is called Boxty. Try making boxty, in my opinion boxty is far more tasteful
I have a cookbook from Ireland and boxty is in it but I’ve never made it, but definitely will try it! There are so many Irish recipes I love!
💖👼🏻🌺
I wonder if you could shred a potato and cook it with the flour and egg mix and it be similar. I bet it would taste like a hash brown, lol idk
OK, just got through trying this. Like so many other things, experience counts for a lot and this one really does need some experience. Especially for someone who does not know how to cook (like me). I had some leftover mashed potatoes that I cooked with skin on because I prefer them that way and didn’t think it would make a difference for patties. I did pretty much everything as the video showed but had previously added some corn because I thought that would be good. The things that made it to the skillet would have changed the gorgon to stone. Those deft movements with the hand cannot be duplicated, I guess you just have to learn how to do it. They looked more like Apple uglies. Tried one on my son and he said, and I quote, that tastes wrong. Kind of sums up my cooking skills. Maybe I’ll stick with the microwave for a little longer.
There are lots of different flours. Which are usable? Preferable?
I use all purpose flour.
Kristi, have you ever tried them with instant potatoes? I'm gonna try them tonight. Thank you
I have not. Let me know how they turn out. 😊
@@ChefKristiThymetoCook I think they would have been better with real potatoes but they were not bad. Thank you
You didn't mention the heat setting and the time range to flip.
Lifting many times to guess if brown will possibly break up the pattie
Yes!!!! I wondered the same thing. Please talk about heat, oils used and timing. Not everyone knows this.
It’s in the description, medium- and just watch the sides for color
You forgot the onions
The basic recipe seemed a bit off, but I followed it anyway. It seemed like it was a lot of flour, and it was. All we tasted was the raw flour. Any ideas?
I really like the recipe and your overall presentation is very nice but, you need to work on the audio. I know you're in a kitchen but it sounds like you're in a kitchen. Try a remote lapel style mic.
Thanks so much for watching. This is an older video before I had my lapel mic which I have been using for the last year now, and it has definitely improved the sound quality. 😊
I think I missed how long you should cook them
Cook them a couple of minutes on each side. The recipe is in the description box below.
Why not get a longer handled spatula so you don’t burn yourself
Fried up mashed taters? 😊😊😊

To be HONEST I was actually dogging her but after watching this video, she made potato cakes which I did try, and I must say were FUCKING DELICIOUS!!! I am sorry for the language and the doubt. This left over potato cake recipe was AWESOME!!!
I’m so glad you liked them! 😊
Ranch nooooo
To much flour
Monica - what is your recommendation? I was wondering about that. I'm about to try the recipe and just wing it.
it's "too", not "to".
Too much egg. Had to add too much flour. I'd say 1 get per 2 cups of potatoes.
Darrell; Hi, Sandy here. It made me sad when you said, you’ll just keep doing microwave . I wonder if you can cook at all? Have you tried cooking something from a box, everything you need & step by step instructions. Start easy, you can do it just keep trying! Also, keep watching ez meals, one pot meals, there are tons of you tube channels & you might connect more with one person’s way of cooking than another’s! First, decide what you want to make, make sure you have all the ingredients, clean work space, empty sink,watch how the person does it, get all your ingredients together, read through the recipe a few times. Measure out all your ingredients, have your bowls, pans, utensils, ready (it’s one step at a time, so don’t get overwhelmed, if you have chopping to do, you can do it ahead of time. Step by step, if there’s an ingredient you don’t like, leave it out. I hope you keep trying, you can do it. Binge watch easy meals, GOOD LUCK! - SANDY -
