Boil the peeled potatoes until tender, about 15–20 minutes.
Drain and mash them until smooth.
2. Mix the Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine mashed potatoes, grated cheese, chopped herbs, egg, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Mix until well combined and a soft dough forms.
3. Shape the Patties
Take a portion of the mixture and shape it into small, flat patties.
Coat each patty lightly with additional breadcrumbs for extra crispiness.
4. Cook the Patties
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Fry patties for 3–4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
5. Serve
Serve hot as a side dish, snack, or appetizer.
Optional: Serve with sour cream, ketchup, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Tips & Variations
Cheese choice: Mix cheeses for extra flavor—cheddar and parmesan work great together.
Add vegetables: Finely grated carrots or zucchini can be added to the potato mixture.
Baking option: For a healthier version, bake patties at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Make-ahead: Patties can be shaped and refrigerated for a few hours before frying.
