Crispy Potato Patties

These are seriously the best potato patties you'll ever have. I know the picture isn't perfect, but the flavor of these are. This is the perfect way to use left over mashed potatoes.

Ingredients:

2 cups mashed potatoes

1 cup shredded cheese - i.e. mozzarella, asiago, white cheddar, or any kind of cheese you like

1 egg (IF your potatoes needs more moisture or consistency. If you are using left over mashed      potatoes, you don't need the egg.)

1/2 tsp. salt (IF your mashed potatoes are not already flavored) 

1/2 tsp. garlic powder

1/2 tsp. onion powder or 2 T. thin sliced green onions

1/4 tsp. black pepper

1 egg

1 cup Japanese breadcrumbs

1/4-1/2 c. avocado oil

Instructions:

1. Combine first 7 ingredients and chill if the mashed potatoes are not already chilled.

2. Shape into 6 patties.

3. Dip in egg and then bread crumbs.

4. Fry in oil until they are brown.
