Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups mashed potatoes
  • 2 cups shredded Mozzarella
  • 1 Egg
  • 1/4 cup Flour
  • 1 Jalapeno deseeded and chopped finely
  • 2 Garlic Cloves finely minced
  • 4 slices of Ham finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup plain Bread Crumbs for coating
  • 4-6 tablespoons Oil for shallow frying
  • Sour Cream or Mayonnaise for serving

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, mix together mashed potatoes, mozzarella, egg, flour, jalapeno, garlic and ham till combined. The mixture should be thick and should hold its shape. If its too loose, add a tablespoon of a flour at a time (this will depend on the consistency of your mashed potatoes)
  • Use an ice cream scoop to scoop out the mixture and form it into patties which are about 1/3 inches in thickness. Coat each cake evenly in a thin coating of breadcrumbs and set aside.
  • Heat oil in a pan and fry the patties in a single layer on each side for 3-4 minutes till golden brown on both sides.
  • Serve hot with sour cream or mayonnaise.
