Irish Potato Cakes

Irish Potato Cakes! I was literally in heaven the moment I tasted these Chef Concetta masterpieces. And the fact that the recipe calls for leftover mashed potatoes makes me smile! To mimic the so-called Most Interesting Man in the World – “I don’t often have leftover mashed potatoes, but when I do I make Irish Potato Cakes.” Someone get me a t-shirt with this saying on it!!!

Ingredients
- 2 cups mashed potatoes leftover from previous meal
- 1/3 cup flour all-purpose, plus more for kneading
- 2 tbsp milk whole
- 1.5 tbsp chives chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Combine mashed potatoes, flour, milk & chives in a bowl; knead until smooth. Season with salt & pepper. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Roll the dough into 1/2 inch thick round. Using a cookie cutter, cut into cakes.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side.
