Prepare the Mixture:
In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, flour, eggs, cheese, and any seasonings or additional ingredients. Mix until everything is well combined. The mixture should be thick enough to form patties.
Form the Patties:
Take a portion of the potato mixture and shape it into a round patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Fry the Patties:
Heat some oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the patties for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden and crispy.
Serve:
Serve the potato patties hot, with extra cheese or fresh herbs if desired.
