Instructions:

In a large pot, boil the diced potatoes in salted water until tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and mash the potatoes, then set them aside to cool slightly.

While the potatoes are boiling, heat a skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon, until fully browned. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking for an additional 3 minutes until the onion is softened. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika.

In a large bowl, combine the cooked ground beef mixture with the mashed potatoes, shredded cheese, and beaten egg. Mix until well combined.

Gradually add the breadcrumbs to the mixture, stirring until it holds together.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Scoop portions of the beef and potato mixture, shaping them into small cakes. Place the cakes in the skillet, cooking for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
