Step 1: Boil potatoes for about 20-25 minutes until soft, but still a little firm. Do not overcook!
Step 2: Drain potatoes and mash them with a potato masher (with skin ON). Don't mash into mashed potatoes, you still want some small chunks in it. Add remaining potato cake ingredients and mix well.
Step 3: Combine breadcrumbs and flour in a pie pan or large plate.
Step 4: In a separate bowl, combine egg and milk.
Step 5: Scoop about 1/4 cup of potato mixture, then form it into a patty, about the size of a hamburger patty.
Step 6: Coat the potato mixture into the breadcrumb mixture, then dip into the milk and egg, then cover again with breadcrumbs.
Step 7: When the patty is completely covered with lots of breadcrumbs, place on a cookie sheet or large plate. Cover and chill for 1 1/2 hours.
Step 8: Heat about 1 cup or more of vegetable oil in a large skillet. Pan fry the cakes on medium heat for about 2-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels
