Irish Potato Cakes
A traditional Irish dish made with mashed potatoes, pan-fried until crispy and golden brown. These delicious cakes are often served with bacon, sausages, or as a side dish to a hearty breakfast. The key to making perfect Irish potato cakes is to get the right balance of mashed potatoes and flour, so they hold their shape when cooked. The outside should be crispy, while the inside remains fluffy and tender.

Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Peel and chop the potatoes into large chunks. Boil them in a large pot of salted water until they are tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter, salt, and pepper, and mash the potatoes with a potato masher or a fork until they are smooth and creamy.
2
In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, flour, and egg. Mix everything together until a dough forms. The dough should be sticky, but not too wet. If it is too dry, add a little bit of water. If it is too wet, add a little bit more flour.
3
Divide the dough into 4-6 equal pieces, depending on how large you want your cakes to be. Shape each piece into a round cake. Heat a large non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add a small amount of oil to the pan and swirl it around to coat the bottom. When the oil is hot, add the cakes to the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
