I made these with sweeet potatoes so as to have more nltrients. And I fried them. I may bake them next time. I will make these again. I cook for one. So, knowing I can flash freeze and store them is a good thing. I think I will always keep them on hand. I did use flour, whole wheat, a tablespoon at a time until I got what I thought was the correct firmness. Next time I’ll use more savory and herb seasoning.

Recovery from being poorly and diet very restricted. No dairy, except yogurt and no fats, but could eat everything in these except the onion.
Made it to suit me and they are delicious. Ideal for my recovery and will definitely be doing them again when I’m better but with all the yummy things like cheese, onions, spices.
Thank you for a nice alternative to a very boring diet.

In reply to Donna Misur. @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.

In reply to Donna Misur. I'm sorry it didn't work for you, Donna. If your mashed potatoes are underseasoned your potato cakes will be too.

I’m sorry to say, this recipe is terrible. I made fresh mashed potatoes, refrigerated them for a day, brought everything to room temp, followed all the instructions and they came out tasteless, soggy and just awful. A real disappointment. I was excited about this recipe because I HATE frying anything on the stove, it’s such a mess. But this recipe falls flat. No flavor and doesn’t hold up. I’ll keep trying to find one that works.
