One of the benefits of feeding a large group of people is leftovers! Leftover potatoes can be used for many different recipes. One of our favorite uses is Potato Cakes. I used the leftover potatoes from our Shrimp Boil to make this recipe. However, you can use leftover mashed potatoes or sweet potatoes.
Ingredients:
Leftover mashed potatoes
2 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1 egg beaten
2 Tbsp Flour
1/2 cup shredded cheese
2 Tbsp Oil
Flour for dusting
Directions:
Mix cold mashed potatoes with all ingredients except the oil. Roll into balls, roll in flour on a cutting board and pat into Cakes. Heat oil in a skillet until hot. Add Cakes and cook on each side for about 5 minutes or until golden brown and heated through. Serve with shredded cheese and your choice of toppings.
Side note: I use Yukon Gold potatoes for a more creamier flavor and the yellow color. But any type of Potato will work.
Enjoy!
