Ingredients
  

2 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)

1/2 cup green onions, finely chopped

1 cup cooked spinach, squeezed dry and chopped

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup all-purpose flour (plus extra for coating)

1 large egg, beaten

1/4 cup breadcrumbs (optional, for coating)

Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions
 

Boil the Potatoes: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the diced potatoes and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.

    Mash the Potatoes: In a large bowl, mash the boiled potatoes until smooth. Mix in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

      Add Fillings: Stir in the shredded cheese, green onions, and spinach until well combined.

        Form Cakes: Take a handful of the potato mixture and flatten it in your palm. Place a teaspoon of the filling in the center, then fold the potato mixture around it to form a patty. Repeat with remaining mixture.

          Coat the Cakes (Optional): If desired, roll the cakes in flour, then dip in the beaten egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs for extra crunch.

            Fry the Cakes: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the potato cakes in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden and crispy.

              Drain and Serve: Once cooked, remove cakes from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
