For the potato patties
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, whisked egg, flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper and chopped scallions. Mix until fully combined.
Step 2
Scoop the mixture into about 10 portions and place them onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Gently press each into a patty. Freeze for 10 minutes to help them firm up.
For coating and frying
Step 3
Stir together panko breadcrumbs, salt and pepper for the coating. Spread onto a rimmed plate or shallow bowl.
Step 4
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working one at a time, press each chilled patty into the seasoned panko to coat both sides.
Step 5
Place 4 to 5 patties into the hot oil at a time. Fry for 1½ to 2 minutes per side, until golden and crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining patties.
For serving
Step 6
Stir together the sour cream and lemon juice in a small bowl.
Step 7
Drizzle the lemon sour cream over the warm patties or serve it on the side for dipping. Garnish with scallions and enjoy.
