Quick & Easy Stuffed Potato Cakes Tasty and Simple Meal

To make quick and easy stuffed potato cakes, start with two large russet potatoes. Peel and dice them, then boil them in salted water. Cook them until they are fork-tender, which takes about 15 to 20 minutes. This step is key for a smooth texture. Once cooked, drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly.

Next, transfer the potatoes to a mixing bowl and mash them until they are smooth. Let them cool down completely. This step ensures that the filling stays intact when you shape your cakes.

Now, it’s time to prepare the filling. Mix in one cup of shredded cheese, half a cup of cooked bacon bits, or cooked mushrooms if you prefer a vegetarian option. Add a quarter cup of finely chopped green onions, half a teaspoon each of garlic powder and paprika, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything well until combined.

To shape the cakes, take a handful of the potato mixture and form it into a patty. In a separate bowl, combine half a cup of all-purpose flour with one beaten egg. Dip each patty lightly into this mixture, then coat it with flour. This gives the cakes a nice crust when frying.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add three or four stuffed potato cakes at a time. Fry them for about three to four minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and crispy. This frying method ensures a crunchy outside while keeping the inside soft and cheesy.

Now, remove the cakes and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve these tasty cakes warm with sour cream or your favorite dipping sauce. They are sure to please everyone!Enjoy this simple yet delicious meal!
