Potato Patties image

Potato Patties are a wonderful addition to grilled meats, fried fish, broiled chicken....I think the list is endless! Garnish them with some sour cream and scallions! You can also make these with left over mashed potatoes. You will need approximately 3 1/2 cups of mashed potatoes. Don't want to fry them, bake them instead! ...

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 c milk
1 c water
1 Tbsp butter
1/2 tsp salt
2 1/3 c instant mashed potatoes
5 scallions, white and green parts, thinly sliced
1 c shredded sharp cheddar cheese
salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste
1 c panko bread crumbs
1/4 c canola oil

Steps:

  • 1. In a microwave safe bowl, heat milk, water, butter and ½ teaspoon salt just to boiling. Remove and mix in potato flakes until well blended.
  • 2. Add scallions, cheese, salt and pepper and mix well. Allow to cool for 10 minutes.
  • 3. Place Panko bread crumbs into shallow bowl. Shape potato mixture into 8 equal size patties.
  • 4. Dredge each patty in bread crumbs on both sides.
