Instructions

1. Prepare the potato dough:

Boil the potatoes until fork-tender, then mash them until smooth.

Add the egg, flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well until a soft dough forms.

2. Prepare the filling:

In a pan over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned.

Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until softened.

Season with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and chili flakes. Cook for 2 more minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in shredded cheddar cheese and parsley. Let it cool.

3. Assemble the potato cakes:

Take a scoop of the potato dough and flatten it into a disc.

Place a spoonful of the beef filling in the center.

Cover with another small piece of potato dough and seal the edges to form a patty.

4. Coat and cook:

Lightly coat each patty in breadcrumbs.

Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and cook the potato cakes for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.

5. Serve and enjoy:

Serve warm with sour cream, ketchup, or your favorite dipping sauce
