Mashed Potato Cakes
My mother often made this recipe and probably grew up with it in the Appalachian area of Tennessee. She usually served it on Monday, making use of leftover mashed potatoes from Sunday dinner. We used to eat this topped with brown gravy.

I make potato cakes often, and never thought to bake in the oven. Great idea! Delicious, and turned out great. I did flip them after 10 minutes of baking to brown both sides evenly.
These turned out great! We gobbled them up with sour cream. I only had red onion so I used a few dashes of onion powder instead. I also didn't use the hot pepper sauce (boyfriend can't eat heat)
Made it with the hot pepper sauce and I think it added just enough spice. Very nice way to use up left over mashed potatoes. I cooked them 15 minutes on one side and then flipped and cooked another 15.
What about leave out the onion of the mashed potato cakes?
I usually fry my potato cakes but this oven method works great and frees up my stove top so I can be cooking other dishes at the same time. I flip them after 15 min then bake another 12 to 14 min to brown on both sides.
I make these every Monday or Tues evening after a big Sunday supper with left over mashed potatoes
I have eaten these my whole life,san the hot sauce,they are so very good. Like someones said, brown and flip over to brown the other side. Happy eating!

I did not use the hot pepper sauce. Maybe that makes the difference but we thought they were blah. If you want them brown, they need to be turned.
