    Mashed potato patties are the perfect dish to whip up when you have leftover mashed potatoes. Quick, easy, and delicious! Adding shredded cheese to the mixture is an added bonus.

    These cook up crispy on the outside and soft and cheesy on the inside - great side dish or appetizer for your busy days.

    Mashed Potato Patties Tips

    Depending on the mashed potatoes you're using, you may or may not need to add salt or black pepper. My potatoes are usually well seasoned to begin with, so I don't usually need to add more salt.

    If you are gluten free, you can certainly use a gluten-free flour of your choice to this recipe, but the flour is a must in order for the patties to hold their shape when cooking. Otherwise, they won't firm up and brown properly - they'll just "mush" down and stick to the pan (trust me on this - I've had many failures).

    These cheesy potato pancakes pair well with pork, chicken, beef, or seafood. You can even pair them with an all-vegetable meal. They make a very satisfying side dish for just about any meal you're planning.

    Try them with my Bacon-Wrapped Southern Meatloaf Recipe or my Brown Sugar Pork Tenderloin.
