🛒 Ingredients
- 500 g potatoes
- 1 egg
- 50–75 g grated cheese
- 2 tbsp finely chopped onion
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1–2 tbsp flour or breadcrumbs, if needed
- 1–2 tbsp olive oil, for cooking
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Cook the Potatoes
Peel the potatoes and cut them into chunks.
Place them in a pot of salted water and boil for about 15–20 minutes, or until fork-tender.
Drain well and allow them to cool slightly.
2. Mash the Potatoes
Transfer the potatoes to a large bowl and mash until mostly smooth.
Let them cool enough that the mixture is comfortable to handle.
3. Mix the Ingredients
Add the egg, grated cheese, onion, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Mix everything thoroughly.
If the mixture feels too soft to shape, add 1 tablespoon of flour or breadcrumbs at a time until it holds together.
4. Shape the Patties
Divide the mixture into 6–8 portions.
Shape each portion into an oval or round patty, pressing gently so it stays together.
5. Cook Until Golden
Heat the olive oil in a nonstick frying pan over medium heat.
Place the patties in the pan, leaving space between them.
Cook for approximately 3–4 minutes per side, until beautifully golden brown and crisp on the outside.
6. Serve
Transfer the patties to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve warm with fresh tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, plain yogurt, or eggs.
💡 Helpful Tips
- Make sure the potatoes are well drained so the mixture isn’t watery.
- Don’t make the patties too thick; they’ll brown more evenly when slightly flattened.
- For extra crispiness, chill the shaped patties for 15–20 minutes before frying.
- You can bake them at 200°C (400°F) until golden, turning once halfway through.
Golden on the outside, soft and cheesy inside—an easy breakfast the whole family can enjoy! 🥔🧀
