King Papas (Aka Copycat Que Papas) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 cups frozen shredded hash browns, chopped into small pieces
3 eggs
1/4 cup finely diced jalapeno
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 - 1/2 cup flour
Italian seasoned breadcrumbs, to coat
oil, to fry
salt (optional)

Preparation

In a large bowl, mix together hash browns, eggs, jalapenos, and cheese.
Add 1/4 cup of flour and mix well. If mixture is still too runny to hold together, gradually add more flour until it will (you should be able to form a patty with the mixture).
Heat 1/2 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Take 1 heaping tablespoon of potato mixture and form into pattie. Place into a bowl of bread crumbs and turn to coat.
Gently place patty into hot oil and fry until golden brown. Drain on brown paper bag and sprinkle with salt, if desired.
Continue making patties as directed above until all mixture is used.
