Notes
Tips:
Use room temperature ingredients. It makes blending the ingredients together easier.
Beat the egg before adding it to the mashed potatoes. Again, it makes blending easier.
Season the potatoes. Even though you seasoned the mashed potatoes when you made them, these cakes need seasoning so they don't taste bland.
Keep the shape and thickness similar so they cook at the same rate.
