Peel and Chop: Peel and chop the potatoes into small chunks.
Boil: Cook them in boiling water until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
2. Make the Potato Mixture:
Mash the Potatoes: Mash the cooked potatoes until smooth in a large bowl.
Season: Add salt, pepper, and paprika to taste.
Add Cornstarch: Mix in 3 tablespoons of cornstarch to help bind the mixture.
Add Parsley: Stir in the chopped parsley for a burst of freshness.
Add Cheese: Mix in the grated cheese, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
3. Form the Patties:
Shape Patties: Take small portions of the potato mixture and shape them into patties of your desired size.
4. Prepare the Coating:
Beat the Eggs: In a bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt.
Set Up Coating Stations: Place flour in one bowl and breadcrumbs in another.
5. Coat the Patties:
Dredge the Patties: Dip each patty first in flour, then in the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs. Ensure each patty is well-covered for a crispy exterior.
6. Fry the Patties:
Heat the Oil: In a frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat.
Fry the Patties: Fry the coated patties until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Drain: Remove the patties and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
