In this recipe, two extraordinary ingredients are blended together, blue cheese and panko. Blue cheese is a type of cheese that has a bacterial culture in it, it has a flavor which varies from nutty to sour or tangy. It goes best with similarly strong, flavored food and drinks, and with red wines. Panko, on the other hand is a flaky bread crumb used in Japanese cuisine as a crunchy coating for fried foods. These two ingredients are responsible for making this potato cake extraordinarily delicious! Here’s how to do it.

Ingredients

2 cups cold mashed potatoes (350 g)
1/4 cup panko, a Japanese flaky bread crumb (23 g)
1/4 cup panko, extra for coating (23 g)
1/2 cup crumbled domestic blue cheese (50 g)
Salt & freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
1/4 cup olive oil (60 ml)

Instructions

First, in a medium mixing bowl, mix together potatoes, bread crumbs and blue cheese.
Season with salt and pepper until desired taste is obtained
Divide the mixture into eight 2-inch cakes.
Now chill the cakes in a single layer by placing them in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Then dip the cakes lightly in 1/4 cup remaining panko crumbs.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat.
Spread the oil all over skillet and cook the cakes until golden brown on both sides (approximately 5-10 minutes depending on the heat of your pan).
Serve and Enjoy!
