Forget boring leftovers – these Crispy Mashed Potato Cakes transform ordinary mashed potatoes into golden, crunchy-on-the-outside, fluffy-on-the-inside perfection. And here’s the game-changer: you can make the mashed potatoes in your crockpot first for ultimate ease!

I make these at least twice a week – they’re that good.

Why These Potato Cakes Will Become Your New Obsession
✅ Crispy exterior, creamy center – The perfect textural contrast
✅ Crockpot hack – Hands-off mashed potato baseDirections:

Add potatoes to crockpot with 1 cup water.

Cook on HIGH for 3–4 hours or LOW for 6–8 hours, until tender.

Drain excess water, then mash with milk, butter, salt, and pepper.

Let cool slightly before forming into cakes.

Pro Tip: Make this the night before – cold mashed potatoes hold their shape better!
