Here’s a simple recipe you can follow to make them:

Ingredients:

– 4 large potatoes
– 1/4 cup flour (you can use more or less depending on the consistency)
– 1 egg (optional, helps with binding)
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1/2 cup grated cheese (optional, adds flavor)
– Oil for frying

 Instructions:

1. **Boil the Potatoes**: Peel and boil the potatoes until they are soft. Drain and mash them in a large bowl.

2. **Prepare the Mixture**: Add the flour, egg (if using), salt, pepper, and cheese to the mashed potatoes. Mix everything together until it forms a dough-like consistency. If the mixture is too sticky, add a little more flour.

3. **Shape the Patties**: Take small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls. Flatten each ball into a patty shape, as shown in the image.

4. **Fry the Patties**: Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, place the patties in the pan and fry until they are golden brown on both sides. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes per side.

5. **Serve**: Once done, remove the patties from the pan and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve hot, possibly with a dipping sauce of your choice.
