Stir in bell pepper, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper; cook for another 3-4 minutes.

Remove from heat and mix in chopped hard-boiled eggs and black olives.

Form mashed potatoes into patties, placing a spoonful of filling in the center of each.

Fry the patties in batches until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side.
