Directions
-
Soak the dried adzuki beans in plenty of water in the refrigerator overnight.
-
Drain the soaked beans and place them in a pot, covering with enough water to cook.
-
Scrub the potatoes and place them in a separate large pot, covering with water.
-
Bring both pots to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender and the beans are soft, draining the beans but reserving 1 cup of the bean cooking liquid.
-
Drain the potatoes well and allow them to cool slightly, then peel and mash them until smooth.
-
To the mashed potatoes, add the egg, butter, chopped parsley, and pepper to taste, mixing thoroughly until combined.
-
If the beans are not fully tender, simmer them in the reserved 1 cup of cooking liquid until tender and the liquid is absorbed.
-
In a large bowl, combine the cooked adzuki beans, the potato mixture, and grated parmesan cheese.
-
Mix well until the ingredients are evenly distributed, then shape the mixture into 12 uniform patties.
-
Roll each patty in remaining grated parmesan cheese to coat the outside lightly.
-
Heat vegetable oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
-
Fry the patties in batches, turning once, until golden brown and crisp on both sides.
-
Transfer fried patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil before serving.
