Directions

Stir the softened oatmeal mixture into the potato and nut mixture until well combined and uniform.

Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a flat, round patty, approximately 1/2-inch thick.

Heat a thin layer of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
-
Carefully place the patties in the hot skillet and fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Note
The original recipe mentioned a breading mixture of whole wheat flour and brewer's yeast, but the ingredient list only includes oatmeal. If you prefer a crispier crust, you can roll the formed patties in the dry oatmeal before frying, or use the flour/yeast mixture mentioned in the source as a coating instead of mixing the oats into the batter.
Ensure the mashed potatoes are cool to room temperature before mixing to prevent the patties from falling apart during frying.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or skillet to maintain crispiness.
