Cook the Broccoli: Steam or boil the broccoli florets until they are tender but still vibrant green, about 5-7 minutes. Drain well and chop finely or pulse in a food processor. Finely chopping or processing the broccoli helps it mix more evenly with the potatoes and cheese.
Mix the Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes and finely chopped broccoli. Mix well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
Add the flour and salt to the mixture. Stir until the flour is fully incorporated and the mixture is well-combined. The flour helps bind the mixture and gives the patties structure.

Add the Cheese:
Grate or chop the cheese into small pieces and fold it into the potato and broccoli mixture. Adjust the amount of cheese based on your preference for a cheesier flavor. The cheese melts during cooking, creating delicious pockets of melted cheese throughout the patties.

Form the Patties:
Shape the mixture into small patties, about 1/2 inch thick. You can use your hands or a patty mold to ensure even shapes. If the mixture is too sticky, lightly dust your hands with flour.
Cook the Patties:
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot before adding the patties to achieve a crispy exterior.

Cook the patties in batches, frying for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even cooking.
Serve:
Serve the patties warm, either on their own or with a dipping sauce of your choice. They make a great addition to salads, sandwiches, or as a side dish with your favorite meal.

Tips:
Texture: To achieve the best texture, make sure the broccoli is finely chopped or processed. This will help the broccoli blend well with the potatoes and cheese, ensuring a consistent patty texture.
Cheese Choices: Experiment with different cheeses for varying flavors. A mix of cheeses can add complexity and depth to the patties.

Batch Cooking: These patties freeze well. After cooking, let them cool completely before freezing. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Transfer to a freezer-safe container or bag and store for up to 3 months. Reheat from frozen in a skillet or oven.
