Mix the mashed potatoes, eggs, flour and cheese. Chop the herbs and stir in. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Bake the dough in a little oil in a hot pan, tablespoon at a time, until the thalers are golden brown. The pan must not be too hot, otherwise the thalers will be dark before they are done.
Tips: There are no limits to your imagination. You can also add other ingredients (and spices) such as ham, paprika, dried tomatoes, etc., finely chopped under the dough and give the talers a new taste over and over again.
You can also experiment with the cheese and, for example, use a spicy mountain cheese.
Depending on how moist the mashed potatoes are, it may be that more flour is needed so that the thalers stick together. Mashed potatoes from the previous day usually require less flour than fresh mashed potatoes. It is best to simply bake a test thaler and, if necessary, add flour.
