1 c Mashed potatoes (left over)
2 tb Shredded carrots
1 tb Shredded onion
3 tb Egg liquid (micro leftover)
1 tb Corn meal
ds Salt & Pepper to taste
1/3 c Panko crumbs
3 tb Peanut oil or more
Easy use for leftover mashed potatoes.
You can add shredded cheese, green onions to the mixture if you want.
Use a couple tablespoons.
Break egg into small pyrex cup, scramble. Set aside.
To potatoes add carrots, onion, 3 tb egg mixture, and corn meal. Mix
throughly and divide into 4 small patties.
Measure out panko crumbs and set aside.
Brush egg mixture over top side of patty. Sprinkle top of patty with
Panko crumbs, press in to make sure they really stick to the potato.
Turn patty over and brush that side with egg liquid, sprinkle with
Panko and press in to make sure they stick.
Choose a large teflon fry pan (do not crowd patties). Place oil in
pan and heat over medium heat (No 6 on my stove). When oil is hot
enough place patties into pan, turn down to lower heat (No 3 on my
stove) and fry for 3 minutes. Flip, turn up heat again to slighly
higher, add slight amount of oil if necessary. Cook another 3
minutes until second side is golden brown.
Tested 1/15/16 - very nice. Crisp on outside, fluffy on inside. Will
certainly make this again. Good use for those leftover mashed
potatoes.
