    1️⃣ Boil potatoes until tender. Drain well and mash with butter, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt & pepper. Let cool completely, then mix in egg & flour.

    2️⃣ Melt 2 tbsp butter with olive oil. Add sliced onions and cook over medium-low heat for 25–35 minutes until golden & caramelized. Stir in thyme, garlic powder & Worcestershire.

    3️⃣ Flatten about ⅓ cup potato mixture in your hand. Add caramelized onions & shredded Swiss cheese to the center. Cover with a little more potato and seal into a thick patty.

    4️⃣ Mix panko & Parmesan. Press each potato cake into the mixture on both sides.

    5️⃣ Pan-fry in a thin layer of oil for about 3–4 minutes per side until crispy & golden. 🔥

    6️⃣ For the gravy, sauté mushrooms & onion in butter until browned. Add garlic, then flour. Cook 1 minute.

    7️⃣ Slowly stir in beef broth. Add Worcestershire, thyme & pepper. Simmer until thick and savory. Season with salt as needed.

    8️⃣ Spoon mushroom gravy onto the plate FIRST, then place those crispy potato cakes on top so they stay crunchy! 😋
