CHEESY MASHED POTATO CAKES

Category: Potatoes

2 cups chilled mashed potatoes
1/4 cup chopped green onion or chives
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten free flour blend), for dredging
1/4 cup crushed potato chips, for dredging
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Combine the chilled mashed potatoes, green onions/chives and cheddar cheese. Divide the mashed potatoes into 8 equal portions. Use your hands to form 1/2-inch thick patties.

Combine the flour and crushed potato chips with the salt and pepper in a shallow dish, such as a pie plate. Coat the potato patties in the flour and crushed potato chip mixture.

Place the potato cakes on a greased baking sheet and spray the tops with a cooking spray. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until warmed through. Season with additional salt and pepper and serve hot.
