Cheddar Potato Cakes

This is a variation of a potato cake recipe I've made for years. These cakes are not as stiff as regular potato cakes so I make the portions a little smaller when I cook them.

• Ready In: 15 mins
• Yields: 10 potato cakes

Ingredients

• 3  cups mashed potatoes (leftovers)
• 1⁄4 onions, minced or 1  tablespoon  instant minced onion
• 1  egg
• 1⁄3 cup flour
• 2  ounces cheddar cheese, shredded (I use 50% less fat version)
•  salt, to taste
•  pepper, to taste

Directions

1. Mix all ingredients together.
2. Place spoonfuls of potato mixture in greased fry pan.
3. Cook on medium/medium high heat for approximately 5 minutes or until bottom of cakes are golden brown.
4. Flip, mash down with spatula and cook for another 5 minutes or until golden brown.
