Description

Ingredients

• ½ (1.5lb) bag (340g) Little Potatoes (I used Baby Boomers)
• 1 large egg
• ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 green onion, sliced
• ½ teaspoon salt
• flour -- optional (see notes)

Directions

• In a medium pot, place potatoes in cold water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to medium heat and simmer for about 10 minutes, until tender. Mash well and cool to room temperature. (*see notes for using leftover mashed potatoes).
• In a large bowl, combine mashed potatoes, egg, cheese, onion and salt.
• Heat a griddle or large frying pan to medium-high and spray with non-stick spray. Scoop potato mixture onto hot griddle and press down to flatten.
• Let cook for 4-5 minutes until very golden and crispy, then flip and cook another 4-5 minutes until golden brown. Serve with sour cream, cheese and green onions or top as desired.
