Recycle those leftover mashed potatoes into a new side dish, using your air fryer, instead of a skillet. These mashed potato cakes have a crunchy topping, thanks to Italian-seasoned panko crumbs.

Ingredients

  • olive oil cooking spray:
  • egg: 1 piece
  • salt: 0.25 tsp
  • black pepper: 0.25 tsp (freshly ground)
  • leftover mashed potatoes: 2 cups
  • all-purpose flour: 2 Tbsp
  • ounces shredded Cheddar cheese: 2 piece (optional)
  • Italian-style panko bread crumbs: 0.5 cup
  • all-purpose flour: 0.5 cup
  • chives: 1 Tbsp (minced, optional)

  2. If using a basket style air fryer, cut two pieces of heavy duty aluminum foil about 4 inches wide and 16 inches long to form a foil sling. Spray the sling with cooking spray. For a tray or rack style air fryer, cut the long edges of the foil to fit the tray or rack.

  7. Continue until all the potato cakes are formed and placed on the oiled slings, three patties close together on each sling. Leave enough foil on both ends of the sling to help lift the cakes in and our of the basket. See note. Liberally spray the tops of the cakes with olive oil.
