How to Make It
Step 1

Step 2
Add cheese, green onions, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to potato mixture, stirring well. Divide potato mixture into 6 balls [about 1/2 cup per ball]. Flatten balls into 1/2-inch-thick patties [about 3-inch diameter]. Place on a baking sheet; cover and refrigerate 20 minutes or until firm.

Step 3
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place potato-and-cheese patties in pan; cook 5 minutes or until bottoms are browned. Turn patties; cook 3 minutes. Top patties with tomato and red onion.
