POTATO CAKES

POTATO CAKES


2 cups mashed potatoes
1 egg, beaten
½ cup all-purpoe flour
salt to taste
1 pinch garlic salt
1 Tbsp. butter
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese


In a medium size-mixing bowl combine the potatoes, egg, flour, salt and garlic. Mix well.


Melt butter in a large frying pan over LOW heat. Drop pancake-size (4-inch circle) lumps of mashed potatoes into the frying pan. Pat to flatten to ½ to 1-inch thickness. Sprinkle some Cheddar cheese on to the mashed potato cake. Spoon more potato mixture over the cheese. Flip the potato cakes over when the bottom is browned (about 10 minutes) brown the other side (about 10 minutes).


Yield: 2 servings.
