Mashed Potato Patties
Total time: 20 minutes
A great way to use up any left over mashed potatoes... I always make extra just for this!
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 - 2 cups leftover mashed potatoes
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp dried chives
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1 - 2 tbs milk or yogurt
- 1 tbs olive oil or butter
Instructions:
- Lightly whisk egg in a medium bowl.
- Mash potatoes with a fork so they are not stiff.
- Add mashed potatoes, herbs to egg and mix thoroughly.
- Add 1 tbs milk or yogurt. If they are very stiff add a bit more, otherwise do not.
- Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Dividing potato mixture into fourths, spoon into hot skillet and shape into patties with the back of the spoon. The patties should be about an inch thick (2.5 cm).
- Sauté 10 minutes on each side, turning once. They should be nicely browned.
- Be careful turning them so they don't break apart - if they do, just pat them back together. Serve hot.
