Old-Fashioned Potato Cakes
Old-Fashioned Potato Cakes turn leftover mashed potatoes into golden, pan-fried patties with a tender middle and a lightly crisp exterior. Onion adds a savory bite while simple seasoning keeps the flavor classic and comforting. Serve these hot as a nostalgic side for weeknight dinners, brunch plates, or alongside eggs and bacon.
