Step-by-Step Instructions

• Peel and chop the potatoes, boil in salted water until tender (about 15 minutes), then drain and cool.
• Mash the cooled potatoes until smooth, season with salt and pepper, and set aside.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet, add the onion, and sauté until translucent (3-4 minutes).
• Add chopped mushrooms and minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned. Stir in thyme, salt, and pepper. Cool slightly.
• In the bowl with mashed potatoes, combine mushroom mixture, grated cheese, and the egg. Mix until well combined.
• Shape the mixture into 3-inch diameter patties and arrange on a plate.
• Coat each patty in breadcrumbs, pressing to adhere.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and fry each cake for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown.
• Transfer cooked cakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
• Serve garnished with fresh parsley.
