Note
For extra crispy results, ensure the potatoes are thoroughly dried before mixing. Excess moisture prevents browning.
You can add finely chopped onions or bell peppers to the mixture for added flavor and texture.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or skillet to restore crispiness.
These potato cakes can also be baked at 400ðF (200ðC) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, for a healthier option.
Serve with applesauce, sour cream, or smoked salmon for a classic pairing.
