  10. Mashed Potato Cakes
  11. My husband enjoys mashed potatoes. However when I make them, I have to make quite a bit extra. Next time you make mashed potatoes… make almost double.
  12. 8 Medium to large Potatoes, Peeled, quartered or more depending on size
  13. 8 ounces of low fat cream cheese softened.
  14. Warm milk.. I add 1/4 cup at a time
  15. Softened real Butter I use unsalted 1/2 of a stick. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mash all together. I like to add fresh roasted garlic, fresh shredded cheese of my choice. We like smoked Gouda but a little bit goes a long way.
  16. To make my mashed potatoes, I use Russet potatoes, enough for four people. Approximately.. 8 medium to large potatoes. Cleaned, peeled and Cut I To quarters or sixth (depending how large)
  17. I place in Low sodium Chicken Broth. Boil until tender, Rinse and save broth.. set it aside
  18. I place potatoes back in pot they were cooked in
  19. Mash all ingredients until almost smooth. I like a few small lumps, I want my guest to know they are not instant.
  20. The next day, add to your mashed potatoes to prepare to make cakes.
  21. Oil to fry in about 2-3 inches deep or deep fry. Bread crumbs, sometimes I crush corn flakes, sometimes I use Panko Crumbs, sometimes plain fine bread crumbs. I like to add my own seasonings to my taste which varies.
  22. 1-2 sweet onions peeled and chopped.
  23. 2 garlic cloves minced.
  24. Seasonings I use to taste: salt, pepper, Italian, Cumin, divide these in half.
  25. 1 cup of all purpose flour per two cups of mashed potatoes. More if you need it.
  26. I season my potatoes and my bread crumbs. Stir well
  27. Wet your hands shake of excess.. scoop some out with your wet hands. Roll into a ball, place in seasoned bread crumbs
  28. Roll around and slightly flatten, place in Hot oil carefully. I normally fry in skillet. About 3-4 minutes each side on medium heat.

Stir until the mashed potatoes dissolve into the chili. Check the consistency and add mashed potatoes a little at a time until your sauce reaches the desired consistency. These mashed potato cakes are so delicious, you will want to make mashed potatoes just to make the potato cakes. Potato cakes is by far the best way to use up leftover mashed potatoes and ham. Layer sliced potatoes, chili, cubed cream cheese, cream of mushroom soup, and cheddar cheese in a greased casserole dish.
