Best of wishes for your health, Margaret! I’m so happy that you found something here that can give you variety. Thank you.

Thank you, Sam. Both great options.

@Donna Misur, if your manshed pots are to bland and not stiff enought, add ready mix bread crumbs, this and some graded cheese will cure both issues.

Thank you, Eliza!

I’m sorry it didn’t work for you, Donna. If your mashed potatoes are underseasoned your potato cakes will be too.

Hi Louisa! Thank you for stopping by. You can definitely substitute yogurt for cream and any variety will work. My mother even made these with just milk. They freeze beautifully. I would form them and put them on a baking sheet before baking. Once frozen just slip them into an airtight container. I’d bake the day you want them. You can even bake them frozen but personally, I’d let them thaw at room temperature uncovered so they don’t get mushy. You can freeze baked patties but I would still crisp them up in the oven before serving until they’re warm, 10 to 15 minutes Thank you for your question. I definitely need to add this information to my post.
