Soft Potato Cakes

These potato cakes have an almost biscuit-like texture. Feel free to jazz them up with some spiced. Great served with sour cream or aioli.

Soft Potato Cakes
1 cup hot mashed potatoes
1/4 cup melted butter
1 cup grated raw potato
1 cup all-purpose (plain) flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
salt and pepper, to taste

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl until well combined (you may need to knead the mixture with your hands).
Form the mixture into small balls about the size of golf balls. Flatten into patties. 
Fry in hot oil until golden on both sides.
