Instructions

1If using cold mashed potatoes, ensure they are seasoned to your liking. Roll the mashed potatoes into balls, dusting your hands well with flour to prevent sticking.
2Flatten the potato balls into cakes, about 1/2 inch thick.
3Sauté the potato cakes in butter over medium heat until golden brown on both sides, about 5-7 minutes per side. Alternatively, place the cakes on a buttered baking sheet, top each with a small piece of butter, and bake in a hot oven at 400°F (200°C) until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
