Recipe Tips

For extra crispy cakes, press them firmly in the skillet and avoid moving them too soon.

Use fresh corn kernels if available; canned or frozen corn should be drained and patted dry.

FAQ

Can I make these potato cakes ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the cakes and refrigerate them uncooked for up to 24 hours. Fry them just before serving.

What can I substitute for mozzarella?

Cheddar, Monterey Jack or a dairy-free cheese alternative work well.

How do I prevent the cakes from falling apart?

Make sure the potatoes are well-drained and mashed finely. Chilling the formed cakes for 15 minutes before frying helps them hold together.
