Perfect Potato Patties




Source of Recipe


Source: Midwest Living


List of Ingredients




4 cups mashed potatoes*
1/2 to 2/3 cup milk
1/3 cup fine dry bread crumbs
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder


Recipe



1. In a large bowl combine all the ingredients. (Mixture should be fluffy, but not too sticky.)
2. Shape potato mixture into twelve 4-inch patties (about 1/4 inch thick).
3. Grease and preheat a griddle.** Cook patties over medium-low heat for 4 to 5 minutes or until patties are brown and warm on top. Turn and cook the patties for 4 to 5 minutes more or until brown. Keep warm in a 300 degree F oven while cooking remaining potato patties.
4. Serve warm. Makes 12 patties (6 servings).
*Note: For mashed potatoes, peel and cut up 2 to 2-1/2 pounds potatoes. Cook in boiling, lightly salted water until tender. Drain and mash. Measure 4 cups and cool before mixing and shaping.
**Note: For crispier potato patties, fry them in a skillet in more shortening or cooking oil.
