I want to find all primes $p$ for which there exist integers $n, x, y$ such that $p^n = x^3 + y^3$. One solution is $p = 2$ because $2^1 = 1^3 + 1^3$. Now I can assume that $p$ is odd, so exactly one of $x$ and $y$ must be odd and another one must be even. Furhtermore $p^n = (x + y)(x^2 - xy + y^2)$, so $x + y = p^k$ and $x^2 - xy + y^2 = p^l$, where $k + l = n$ and $(x + y) | (x^2 - xy + y^2)$. Could you please help me move forward? I don't know what to do next.

Hint Let solution exists => exists a solution with $gcd(x,y) = 1$ => exists a solution with $gcd(x,p) = gcd(y,p) = 1$
in this case: $x+y=p^k,x^2-xy+y^2=p^m => 3xy=p^{2k}-p^m = p^m(p^{2k-m}-1)$ =>$m=0$ or $m=1, p=3$, in other cases $p|xy$
$x^2-xy+y^2=1$ => $x=1, y=1$ (you was found this solution)
$x^2-xy+y^2=3$ => $(x-0.5y)^2+0.75y^2 = 3$ => $y^2 \le 4$
Cases:
So, (p,n,x,y) is (2,1,1,1), (3,2,2,1) and(3,2,1,2). And multiplying x,y by p series
Explain 1: $gcd(x,y)>1, gcd(x,y)|p^n => p|x, p|y => (p, n-3, \frac{x}{p}, \frac{y}{p}) $ is a solution too.
Let $gcd(x,y) = 1, gcd(x,p) = p. $ => $y^3=p^n - p^3c$=>$p|y$ => $gcd(x,y)|p$ -it is absurd
