  • Stir in the flour mixture. The mixture should be thick, but able to spread out to cook into a patty. Add more cream if needed.
  • Once the butter is hot, scoop mounds of the potato batter into the pan, spreading it lightly into flat circles around 1/3 of an inch thick
  • Fry each sides of the patties for 2-3 minutes until well browned on the bottom, then flip.
