This is a great recipe for using up the leftover potatoes in your pantry. I call this the pantry staple patty, as all the ingredients that go into this potato patty (carrot, onion, scallions, egg, flour) are common pantry ingredients.

This goes well as a meatless and simple meal on its own, or as a side dish. I usually eat this with some sour cream and chopped chives.

Potato Patties Recipe

This is a great meatless recipe for using up the leftover potatoes in your pantry.

Serves: 4

Prep Time: 20 mins

Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

• 3 russet potatoes peeled and quartered
• 1 onion finely chopped
• 2 tbsp finely chopped carrots
• 2 tbsp finely chopped scallions
• 1 egg beaten
• 2 tbsp plain flour sifted
• 1/8 tsp salt
• freshly cracked black pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 2 tbsp sour cream to serve

Directions:

1. Place potatoes in a pot of water with 1/2 tsp salt added. Bring to boil, then simmer potatoes for 12 minutes, or until a fork can pierce the potato easily.
2. Drain the potatoes and mash them using a potato ricer. Combine potato with the rest of the ingredients except vegetable oil in a mixing bowl. Mould 1 heaped tablespoon of potato mixture into a ball and gently flatten it to make a patty. Repeat until all the potato mixture is used up.
3. Heat frying pan with vegetable oil. Cook potato patties in batches, 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly golden brown, then turn over with a spatula to cook the other side. Drain the excess oil on tempura papers or kitchen paper towels and serve with some sour cream.
