How To Make Potato Patties Food

POTATO PATTIES | FRIED POTATO CAKES

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, mix together the cold mashed potatoes and the egg. Make sure the egg is evenly distributed through the potatoes.
• Add the grated onion, flour, salt, and pepper and use a fork to gently mix in the ingredients.
• Add enough oil to a large fry pan so that it is approximately 1/2" deep and place over medium heat. Allow the oil to come to temperature, about 350°F.
• Scoop scant 1/2 cups of the potato mixture and gently drop them into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan -- cook no more than 3-4 patties at a time. Gently, flatten each mound into a patty shape with a spatula.
• Fry for about 2 1/2 to 3 minutes on the first side, until golden brown. Then, slide the spatula under the patty and turn it over. You'll find enlisting a second utensil makes the flip a bit easier! Then, cook for another 2 to 2 1/2 minutes.
• Transfer the cooked patty to a cooling rack placed over paper towels. Allow to cool slightly, serve, and enjoy!

HOW TO MAKE POTATO PATTIES

Steps:

• Prepare the mashed potatoes. You can use leftover mashed potatoes from last night's dinner, or you can make some from scratch. If you are making them from scratch, do the following: Peel and cut 4 medium-sized potatoes. Fill a large pot with salted water, enough to cover the potatoes. Boil the potatoes until they are soft, about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain the water. Mash the potatoes with a fork or potato masher.
• Divide the mashed potatoes into eight ½-inch (1.27 centimeters) thick patties. Roll the potato mixture into eight balls, then gently flatten them with your palm. This will be enough to serve four people, with two patties each.
• Mix the flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish using a fork. The dish needs to be shallow enough to fit at least one potato patty.
• Dip the potato patties in the flour mixture. Make sure that you dip both sides of the potato patties into the flour mixture. This will help give them that nice, golden color once they are fried.
• Heat the oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Gently tilt the skillet from side to side to coat the bottom evenly. To prevent the potato patties from getting too oily, heat only 1 to 2 tablespoons of oil. You can add more oil as you continue to cook the patties.
• Add the potato patties once the oil starts to smoke. Chances are, your skillet is large enough to fit one or two potato patties, which is fine. It is better to cook them a few at a time rather than cramming all of them into a single skillet.
• Lower the heat to medium-low, and cook the patties until they turn golden, about 15 to 20 minutes. Flip the patties using a spatula, and cook them for another 15 minutes.
• Serve the potato patties while they are still hot. If you'd like, you can season them with extra salt and pepper to your liking.
