For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of garlic powder or smoked paprika to the potato mixture. If your mashed potatoes are too dry, add a tablespoon or two of milk or cream to the mixture. These patties can also be baked in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve with a dollop of sour cream, Greek yogurt, or your favorite dipping sauce. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as Gruyere, Monterey Jack, or Pepper Jack.
