- Boil and Mash Potatoes:
- Place diced potatoes in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until potatoes are tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain well and mash until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Prepare Beef Mixture:
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
- Add ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Season with dried thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and remove from heat.
- Combine Potato and Beef Mixtures:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine mashed potatoes, cooked beef mixture, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped parsley. Mix until well combined.
- Form Potato Cakes:
- Take about 1/2 cup of the mixture and shape it into a patty. Repeat with the remaining mixture, forming approximately 8 potato cakes.
- Coat and Fry Potato Cakes:
- In a shallow bowl, place breadcrumbs. In another shallow bowl, lightly beat eggs.
- Dip each potato cake into the beaten eggs, then coat evenly with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
- Heat cooking spray or vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry potato cakes until golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
- Serve:
- Serve the Cheesy Beef Stuffed Potato Cakes hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired. Enjoy as a main dish or appetizer.
