I made this this morning for breakfast. I was going to post this until I found this already posted. My mom makes these all the time. We serve these with ketchup. My mom makes them without onion and parsley and eats them with syrup. I did have to add a lot of flour in order to handle them to make patties. My leftover potatoes were made with milk & butter but they may not have been stiff enough. Awesome for breakfast. Easier than fried potatoes. Potatoes, gotta love em! Thanks Wildrose!

yum very nice! These were very good! Crispy and creamy, a great combination :) I'm going to make these for my dad, who is a fried potato lover, next time i cook for him. I do think they would be good with a little more flavoring, maybee some seasoning salt or a dash of hot sauce, and a dallop of sour cream on top, yum! I bet bacon bits and cheese in the potatoes would be awesome too, you could really get creative with this recipe :)
