Notes
If your mashed potato patties are really not forming or not sticking, it could be due to the consistency. If the mashed potatoes are overly whipped and have too much moisture, you can add 1 flax egg, and 1/4-1/3 cup of all purpose flour. Mix together until the mashed potato consistency has changed, and is easily formed into a patty. The patty shapes do not have to be perfect, they just need to stick together.
