Ingredients:

  • 3-4 potatoes
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 tablespoons chopped onions
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1/4 cup bacon grease

Instructions:

  1. Boil Potatoes:

    • Place the potatoes in a pot and cover them with water.
    • Boil for about 10 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
  2. Mash Potatoes:

    • Drain the boiled potatoes and mash them in a mixing bowl.
    • Add the butter and sour cream to the mashed potatoes and mix until smooth.
  3. Season and Flavor:

    • Stir in the chopped parsley, salt, pepper, and chopped onions, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mashed potatoes.
  4. Form Patties:

    • Take a portion of the mashed potato mixture and form it into a patty shape.
    • Repeat with the remaining mixture, making sure each patty is of similar size.
  5. Coat with Flour:

    • Lightly dust each potato patty with flour, coating both sides evenly. This helps create a crispy exterior when fried.
  6. Fry Potato Cakes:

    • In a skillet or frying pan, heat the bacon grease over medium-high heat.
    • Carefully place the potato cakes into the hot grease, ensuring they do not overcrowd the pan.
    • Fry each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Serve Hot:

    • Once fried to perfection, remove the potato cakes from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess grease.
    • Serve the fried potato cakes hot and enjoy their crispy exterior and creamy interior!

Recipe Notes:

  • Variations: Feel free to customize these potato cakes by adding shredded cheese, diced ham, or other favorite ingredients to the mashed potato mixture before forming patties.
  • Storage: Leftover potato cakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, simply warm them in a skillet or oven until heated through.
  • Serving Suggestions: These potato cakes are versatile and pair well with a variety of dishes. Serve them alongside grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or enjoy them on their own as a tasty snack. They also make a delicious breakfast option when served with eggs and bacon.
