Ingredients
- 2 large potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- salt and pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and mash them in a bowl until smooth.
- Add the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, and chopped parsley to the mashed potatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Divide the mixture into equal portions and form into patties. Coat each patty with breadcrumbs evenly.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot before adding the patties.
- Carefully place the potato cakes in the skillet. Fry until golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Adjust heat if necessary to avoid burning.
- Remove the cakes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
