ToggleOptional for Serving:
- Sour cream or Greek yogurt
- Additional parsley for garnish
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Potato Mixture:
- In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, egg, flour, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper.
- Mix until everything is well incorporated and the mixture is thick enough to form into patties. If it’s too sticky, add a little more flour.
2. Shape the Potato Cakes:
- Divide the potato mixture into 8 equal portions.
- Form each portion into a small patty, about 1/2 inch thick.
3. Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes.
4. Air Fry the Potato Cakes:
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
- Place the potato cakes in a single layer in the basket, making sure they don’t overlap (you may need to cook in batches).
- Lightly spray the tops of the potato cakes with cooking spray to help them crisp up.
- Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
5. Serve:
- Once crispy, remove the potato cakes from the air fryer and serve hot.
- Garnish with extra parsley if desired, and serve with sour cream or Greek yogurt for dipping.
