Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 2 cups russet potatoes grated
- 2 cups cold mashed potatoes
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk plus more if needed
- Butter for frying
- Chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Wring out excess moisture from grated potatoes using a clean kitchen towel. Combine the cold mashed potatoes and grated potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the dry ingredients to the potato mixture. Gradually mix in 1 1/2 cups of buttermilk, adjusting with more if needed to achieve a thick batter consistency.
- Heat butter in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Scoop the potato mixture into the pan, forming patties.
- Fry each side until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes per side. Adjust heat as necessary to ensure even cooking without burning. Sprinkle with green onions when serving.
