Then, remove everything from pot and allow them to cool.Mash the potatoes in a large bowl and chop the broccoli florets into bite-size pieces. Add the broccoli, cheese, panko, salt, egg, garlic and onion powder to the bowl and combine. Place the remaining 1/2 cup of panko in a separate bowl.Using a ice cream scoop or 2 tbsp to measure, roll the mixture into balls, coat them in the panko and then shape each one into a small patty.*Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a skillet over medium heat, place the patties in the skillet and press down with a spatula to flatten a little. Pan-fry for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden. If you make extra just freeze and reheat.
