Ingredients

• 2 large potatoes
• 1 cup, chopped chives
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 egg

Instructions

1. 1

   Peel and dice the potatoes into small chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water.

2. 2

   Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium and cook for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender.

3. 3

   Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash the potatoes until smooth.

4. 4

   In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, chopped chives, flour, salt, black pepper, and the egg. Mix until well combined.

5. 5

   Form the mixture into small patties, about 3 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick.

6. 6

   Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

7. 7

   Add the potato cakes to the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary. Fry for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

8. 8

   Remove the cakes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.

9. 9

   Serve warm, garnished with additional chives if desired.
