Fried Potato Patties are the best way to use up leftover mashed potatoes -- gorgeously golden brown on the outside, and fluffy, creamy potato heaven on the inside!

Provided by Kelly Anthony

Categories     Appetizer     Side Dish

Time 22m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups cold, leftover mashed potatoes
1 large egg
1/3 cup grated yellow onion
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
About 1 1/2 cup canola oil

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!

SOUTHWEST POTATOES



Southwest Potatoes image

Here is a substantial breakfast inspired by (though far better than) airplane food that can be served on its own or alongside eggs. With all the classic flavors of a burrito - black beans, jalapeños, corn, cheese and cilantro - it would also make great filling for a corn or flour tortilla, with potatoes added in place of rice. Exercise patience when you cook the potatoes. The key to this recipe is leaving them alone once you've put them in the pan, neither stirring nor shaking, for at least 10 minutes, so they develop a nice crust.

Categories     breakfast, brunch, easy, one pot, side dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 tablespoons olive oil, or more as needed
2 tablespoons minced fresh jalapeño, or to taste
1 to 1 1/2 cups corn kernels, fresh or frozen
Salt
black pepper
2 pounds new potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
1/2 to 1 teaspoon chili powder, or to taste
1 14-ounce can black beans, well drained
3/4 to 1 cup grated Cheddar or jack cheese
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

  • Put 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When hot, add jalapeño and corn, and sprinkle with salt and pepper; let sit for a moment. When corn begins to brown, shake pan to distribute for even browning. Remove corn.
  • Add remaining oil to pan. When hot, add potatoes. Cook, undisturbed, until they begin to brown around edges and release from pan, about 10 minutes. Continue, at least 15 more minutes, turning potatoes to brown all sides without stirring too often. Add oil if needed to prevent sticking, and lower heat if needed to prevent scorching. When potatoes are tender and golden, add chili powder, corn and beans.
  • Turn on broiler. Place rack about 4 inches below. Transfer potatoes to a baking dish, sprinkle with cheese and run under broiler until cheese is melted and beginning to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Garnish with cilantro.

###

- For optimal texture, use a combination of russet and sweet potatoes. Russet potatoes provide structure, while sweet potatoes add natural sweetness and moisture. - Don't overcook the potatoes. They should be tender but still hold their shape when mashed. - Add flavor and texture with a variety of spices, herbs, and mix-ins. Cumin, chili powder, garlic, and cilantro are classic Southwestern flavors, but feel free to experiment with other combinations. - If the mixture seems too wet, add more bread crumbs or flour until it holds together well. - Pan-frying the patties creates a crispy crust while keeping the interior moist and tender. - Serve the patties hot or at room temperature with your favorite dipping sauce, such as guacamole, salsa, or sour cream. ###
