Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups cold, leftover mashed potatoes
- 1 large egg
Binding and Seasoning:
- ⅓ cup grated yellow onion
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Cooking Ingredient:
- 1.5 cups (360 milliliters) canola oil for frying
Instructions
- Combine chilled mashed potatoes with egg in a spacious mixing bowl, ensuring thorough and uniform blending.
- Incorporate grated onion, flour, salt, and pepper into the potato mixture, gently folding with a fork until ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Warm canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat, reaching approximately 350°F.
- Using a measuring cup, portion out ½ cup of potato mixture directly into the hot oil.
- Carefully shape the potato mixture into a round patty using a spatula, allowing it to spread evenly in the pan.
- Cook the first side for 3 minutes until a crisp, golden-brown exterior develops.
- Flip the patty and continue cooking the opposite side for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring complete heating and achieving a uniform crunch.
- Remove patties from the oil and place on a wire rack positioned over paper towels to drain excess oil and maintain crispiness.
- Serve immediately while warm, presenting a delightful golden-brown potato delicacy.
Notes
- Ensure mashed potatoes are completely cold to help patties hold their shape and prevent falling apart during frying.
- Use starchy potatoes like Russet for the best texture and crispy exterior when pan-frying.
- Adjust flour quantity if mixture seems too wet or dry to maintain perfect patty consistency.
- For gluten-free version, replace wheat flour with cornstarch or almond flour to accommodate dietary restrictions.
