Description

These Potato-Meat Patties are the ultimate solution for transforming leftover mashed potatoes and cold cuts into a delicious, golden-brown meal. By combining fluffy potatoes with finely chopped seasoned meat, fresh onion, and a binding egg mixture, you create patties that are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. They cook quickly in a skillet, making them an ideal choice for busy weeknights or casual weekend brunches. The savory flavor profile is enhanced by simple seasonings, allowing the natural taste of the ingredients to shine. Serve them hot with a dollop of sour cream or alongside a fresh green salad for a satisfying, home-style meal that the whole family will love. It is a practical, waste-free recipe that turns simple leftovers into something special.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the leftover mashed potatoes and finely chopped seasoned meat.
  2. Add the finely chopped onion, egg yolks, milk, and pepper to the bowl.
  3. Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined and cohesive.
  4. Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape each into a flat patty, approximately 1/2 cup per patty.
  5. Heat the oil in a large skillet or frypan over medium heat.
  6. Carefully place the patties in the hot pan, ensuring they are not crowded.
  7. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Flip the patties and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side until browned and heated through.
  9. Remove from heat and serve immediately while hot.

Note

If using cold mashed potatoes, let them come to room temperature for easier mixing. For extra crispiness, roll the formed patties in breadcrumbs before frying. These patties can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in a skillet or oven.
