Garlic Parmesan Mashed Potato Cakes

2 C. mashed potatoes

1 egg

4 garlic cloves, finely minced

3 T. all-purpose flour

1 C. of parmesan + 1/2 C. for the coating

1 tsp. Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper

Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish

 

In a large bowl add the mashed potatoes, egg, 1 C. parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and 3 T. all-purpose flour; mix until combined and smooth. Place 1/2 C. parmesan in a shallow dish. Divide the potato mixture into eight equal portions and form 8 patties (you can use a ring mold to shape the patties). Roll the patties in the parmesan to coat. In a large skillet over medium heat, using cooking oil or butter, cook patties until golden on both sides. Season with salt and pepper to taste, garnish with fresh chopped parsley and more parmesan; serve hot. Enjoy!
