Note

Ensure the mashed potatoes are cold before mixing; this helps the patties hold their shape better during frying.

You can use any leftover cooked meat, such as roast beef, chicken, or ground beef. Finely chopping ensures even distribution.

For a crispier exterior, you can lightly dust the patties with flour or breadcrumbs before frying.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet to maintain crispiness.
