SHREDDED POTATO CAKES RECIPES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine potatoes, onion, and egg; mix well. Add flour, salt, and pepper; mix until well combined.
• Measure out about a heaping 1/4 cup of potato mixture and form it into a patty. (Yes, it’s ok to use your hands for this.) Continue to form patties with remaining potato mixture.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil until hot, but not smoking. In batches, place potato pancakes into oil and cook 3 to 4 minutes per side or until golden on both sides. Drain on a paper towel-lined platter; serve warm.

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium heat, add enough oil to fill pan a third of the way up. In a large bowl, stir potatoes, cheese, egg, chives, hot sauce, and salt until combined. (If your mashed potatoes are a little runny, add flour one tablespoon at a time until you can form dough balls.) 
• Working in batches, scoop heaping tablespoons of mixture and drop into hot oil. Fry until golden on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. 
• Top potatoes with sour cream and chives before serving.
