• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 green onions, chopped (optional)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

For the Creamy Sauce:

• 1 clove garlic, minced
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potato Mixture:
   • In a large mixing bowl, mash the boiled potatoes until smooth.
   • Add the shredded mozzarella (or cheddar), Parmesan, parsley, green onions, salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using). Mix well.
   • Add the egg and flour to the potato mixture and mix until everything is well combined.
2. Form the Patties:
   • Take a small portion of the potato mixture and shape it into a patty, about 1/2 inch thick. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
3. Cook the Patties:
   • Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
   • Place the potato patties in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
4. Make the Creamy Sauce:
   • In a small bowl, combine sour cream (or Greek yogurt), chopped dill or parsley, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
5. Serve:
   • Serve the hot and crispy potato patties with the creamy sauce on the side.
