Preparation

Step 1

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, mixing well. Roll a small handful of mixture into a ball and lightly press flat forming a disc. Repeat until all of the mixture is used. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium high heat for 2 minutes.

Pour 2 tablespoons of oil into the pan, swirling to coat. Place potato cakes a few at a time (being careful not to overcrowd the pan) for about 3 minutes on each side until browned and crispy. Serve with sour cream on top, if desired.
