Ingredients
– 2 large potatoes, boiled and mashed
– 1 small onion, finely chopped
– 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
– 1 large egg, beaten
– 2 tbsp breadcrumbs (plus extra for coating)
– ½ tsp salt
– ¼ tsp black pepper
– ½ tsp garlic powder (optional)
– ½ tsp paprika or dried herbs (optional)
– Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
1. Prepare the Mixture
In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, onion, parsley, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and breadcrumbs. Mix until well combined.
2. Shape the Patties
Divide the mixture into 4–6 equal portions. Roll each into a ball, then gently flatten into round patties about ½ inch thick.
3. Coat for Extra Crunch
Dip each patty into the beaten egg, then coat evenly with additional breadcrumbs for a crisp golden crust.
4. Fry Until Golden
Heat about ½ inch of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the patties for 3–4 minutes per side, or until beautifully golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
5. Serve & Enjoy
Serve hot with sour cream, garlic yogurt sauce, ketchup, spicy mayo, or your favorite dip. Pair with a fresh salad for a complete meal.
Tips
– Add shredded cheddar or mozzarella to the center for a cheesy surprise.
– Chill the patties for 15–20 minutes before frying to help them hold their shape.
– For a lighter option, bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes or air-fry at 375°F (190°C) for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
