Cheddar Potato Cakes


These are the best "what do I do with these leftover mash potatoes?" recipe ever!! I have made several variations on it but I think this is by far the yummiest. 

The cakes are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, you can serve them with eggs on the side but I ate them for breakfast with catsup and was more than happy. 


Cheddar Potato Cakes

  • 2 cups mashed potatoes
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup brown rice flour
  • 2 tablespoons corn starch
  • 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar
  • 1/2 cup corn flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup corn oil


1. Mix mashed potatoes with egg, brown rice flour, corn starch, garlic powder till combined.

2. Add shredded cheddar and mix till just combined. 

3. Mix corn flour with salt in a small bowl and set aside. 

4. Heat oil in skillet.

5. Shape dough into patties and roll in corn flour so they are covered. 

6.  Fry patties in oil till golden brown on both sides. The heat needs to be high enough to crisp the patties but low enough to heat them/cook them through. 

7. Serve hot with sauce... I thought they were really good with fresh sliced avocado too. 

Feel free to add more seasoning to vary the flavor to your own preference. They would be excellent with a little paprika or rosemary added. 

Enjoy! xoxo - Iris
