This is an old family recipe that we've been making for decades. Make sure to use firm cooking potatoes. The amount of oats will depend on how watery your potatoes are. The mixture has to stick together.

- 1 large egg
- 5 tablespoons rolled oats , or more as needed
- 4 tablespoons oil , or more as needed
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
