Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Boil the peeled potatoes in salted water until fork-tender. Drain completely and mash them in a large bowl while still warm until smooth and lump-free.
Step 2: Add the finely chopped fresh parsley, sliced green onions, sweet paprika, black pepper, and salt directly into the warm mashed potatoes.
Step 3: Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the mixture. Knead and mix thoroughly by hand until the dough holds its shape easily without sticking to your fingers.
Step 4: Divide the mixture into equal portions, roll them into balls, and gently flatten them with the palms of your hands to form neat, oval-shaped patties.
Step 5: Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a wide non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 6: Place the potato patties into the hot oil. Pan-fry for 4 to 5 minutes on each side until a gorgeous, golden-brown crispy crust forms.
Step 7: Transfer the crispy patties to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain excess oil, then serve hot.
Chef's Closing Tip
Allowing the boiled potatoes to release all their trapped steam before mashing prevents the mixture from becoming gummy, ensuring your potato cakes turn out fluffy on the inside and extra crispy on the outside.
