Patty Cakes - Savory fried mashed potato cakes
Crispy, fried Mashed Potato Cakes embedded with scallions and peanuts.
Ingredients
2 very large Idaho potatoes, peeled and chunked
1 1/2 cups cottage cheese
1 bunch scallions, sliced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/3 cup finely chopped peanuts
1/2 cup fine, dry bread crumbs
Vegetable oil for frying
Tomato slices
The Recipe
Steam or boil potatos until very tender. Drain and place in a large bowl. Mash with the back of a fork or large spoon. Stir in cottage cheese, scallions, salt and pepper and peanuts. Form 6 - 8 patties with your hands.
Heat about 1/2" oil in a large skillet. Fry in batches if needed so they don't touch, browning on both sides. Drain on paper towels and serve warm with a slice of tomato. Makes 6 - 8 hamburger-sized patties.
