Ingredients

  • 23 cooked potatoes (boiled or baked), sliced into ½-inch rounds
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp milk or cream
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder (optional)
  • ¼ tsp paprika (optional)
  • 2 tbsp butter or oil for frying
  • Optional toppings: shredded cheese, chopped herbs, sour cream, or hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Slice cooked potatoes into ½-inch rounds, making sure they are firm enough to hold their shape.
  2. In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings.
  3. Heat butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  4. Dip each potato slice into the egg mixture, coating both sides well.
  5. Fry potato slices in the skillet for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden and crisp.
  6. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and serve hot with toppings of your choice.

Notes

  • Form mashed potato patties and dip them in egg for a fritter-style variation.
  • Layer cheese between two slices before dipping for a cheesy stuffed version.
  • Add chopped green onions or bacon to the egg mixture for extra flavor.
  • Can also be baked at 425°F for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
