Mashed potato cakes are a delicious combination of green onions, cheese, and my secret recipe for mashed potatoes. The outcome is just incredible. Believe me, friends and family will beg for the recipe.
As always, you can vary the spices, but I think you will enjoy the dish as is. Give it a try and let us know what you think. As always, you can vary the spices and ingredients. I like to keep things as simple and yummy as possible.
