Sour Cream and Chive Potato Cakes are a perfect appetizer or side dish that can be served at any dinner party. They are gluten-free and vegetarian, and the crispy texture of the cakes is a perfect contrast to the creamy taste of the mashed potatoes. The sour cream adds a tangy taste, and the chives provide a slightly onion-like flavor that complements the dish perfectly. These potato cakes are easy to make and can be prepared in advance and served hot or cold. They are a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes, making them a budget-friendly option for any gathering.

Instructions

1.	In a bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and flour together.
2.	Add the mashed potatoes and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the bowl and mix until well combined.
3.	Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add enough vegetable oil to coat.
4.	Scoop 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet and flatten it slightly to form a cake.
5.	Cook the cake until the edges are golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
6.	Flip the cake and cook until the other side is golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
7.	Repeat with the remaining batter.
