Need a potato cakes recipe?

Question

I want to make potato cake without using lefteovern potatoes. I have instant potato flakes. Any ideas how to potato cakes and season?

Answer 1

make your instant potatoes like directions say but just a little thicker than usual. to the potatoes add one egg, some flour and a touch of milk if needed, salt and pepper to taste. Mix all well(potatoes should be pretty stiff but not too stiff) and drop by spoonfuls into hot skillet sprayed with cooking spray or olive oil on a paper towel rubbed over skillet. cook on low heat until brown on each side and put cooked patties on paper towel lined plate. Simple and good. Maybe better with real potatoes, but still...
