Parsley and Parmesan Potato Cakes

Leftover mashed potato is an opportunity to make delicious potato cakes. For this combo I’m using Parsley and Parmesan. Flat leaf parsley gives a bright note to this filling side dish.

Mashed Potato with Parmesan

I always make a double batch of mashed potato because it can be used to make another family meal later in the week. Parmesan is the perfect addition to make this classic side dish even more delicious.
