1 . Stage

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add whole potatoes; boil until just soft but not mushy, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain.

Shred potatoes in a food processor. Transfer to a large bowl and allow to cool.

Mix Cheddar cheese, Fontina cheese, seasoned salt, garlic powder, and pepper into potatoes until well combined. Shape 2-tablespoon portions of potato mixture into thick, disk shapes.
