Crispy Potato Cakes

Crispy Potato Cakes are golden-brown, savory patties made from fresh potatoes, seasoned to perfection. These delightful cakes are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, making them an excellent vegetarian side dish for any meal.

Ingredients

• 2 medium potatoes - 400 grams
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour - 30 grams
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese - 25 grams
• 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions - 15 grams
• 1 clove garlic, minced - 3 grams
• 1/2 teaspoon salt - 3 grams
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper - 1 gram
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika - 1 gram
• 1 egg - 50 grams
• 2 tablespoons olive oil - 30 milliliters

Steps

1. Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes, then boil them in salted water for about 10-15 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and let cool slightly.
2. In a large bowl, mash the boiled potatoes with a fork or potato masher until smooth.
3. Add the flour, Parmesan cheese, green onions, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and egg to the mashed potatoes. Mix until well combined.
4. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 1/2 inch thick.
5. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the potato patties, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
6. Remove the cakes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil before serving.
