Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 cups Russet potatoes grated
  • 2 cups cold mashed potatoes
  • 1 1/2 cups buttermilk plus more if needed
  • Butter for frying
  • chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a small bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  2. Wring out excess moisture from grated potatoes using a clean kitchen towel. Combine the cold mashed potatoes and grated potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Add the dry ingredients to the potato mixture. Gradually mix in 1 1/2 cups of buttermilk, adjusting with more if needed to achieve a thick batter consistency.
  4. Heat butter in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Scoop the potato mixture into the pan, forming patties.
  5. Fry each side until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes per side. Adjust heat as necessary to ensure even cooking without burning. Sprinkle with green onions when serving.
