In the heart of our beloved Midwest, there’s nothing more comforting than bringing together the humble potato, a staple in our regional cooking, with vibrant flavors to create Southern Style Loaded Mashed Potato Cakes. This recipe harks back to simple, joyous family gatherings where we would sit around Granny’s table, sharing stories and laughs. These potato cakes are a beautiful blend of tradition and innovation, perfect for those wanting to embrace a piece of culinary history while savoring every bite.

These loaded mashed potato cakes are best served with a side of tangy coleslaw or a fresh garden salad to balance their richness. If you’re leaning into the Southern comfort theme, pair them with collard greens and a slice of cornbread for a meal that sings with flavor and coziness. They also make a delightful addition to any holiday spread or can be enjoyed as a hearty brunch dish.
