3 Tbsp All-purpose flour

1/2 tsp coarse salt

1/2 tsp black pepper freshly ground

1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese divided

Vegetable oil for sauteing

Instructions

In a large bowl, mix together the mashed potatoes, egg, garlic, parsley, thyme, green onions, flour, salt, pepper, and 1/4 cup of the parmesan cheese.

Place the remaining 1/4 cup of parmesan in a wide shallow bowl, Using 1/4 cup as your guide, divide the potato mixture into 8-10 equal portions and form them into rounded, flattened patties.

Dredge the potato cakes in the parmesan and then refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.

In a small bowl, whisk the sour cream, dill, and lemon juice and season to taste with salt.
