Mashed Brown Potatoes image

Got some leftover mashed potatoes? Need something different to do with them? Have them in the morning with your bacon and eggs or even as a side dish. Even though the directions seem long, these are quick and easy to prepare. Sometimes I fry up a chopped onion to go with it. I'm showing the recipe to make just one patty. You can easily change the amount you make to suit your needs. I don't normally measure anything, but gave measurements for the purpose of this recipe.

Time 15m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 cup mashed potatoes
1/2 teaspoon flour
1/8 teaspoon parsley (or herb of your choice)
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
salt and pepper, to taste
flour, for coating
2 teaspoons olive oil or 2 teaspoons butter, for frying

Steps:

  • Heat up a small fry pan (I use cast iron) over medium heat.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix well the potatoes, 1/2 teaspoons of flour, herbs, garlic powder, salt and pepper together with a fork.
  • Gather up the potato mixture with your hands and form into a patty and flatten slighty.
  • Holding the patty in the palm of your hand, sprinkle a bit of flour on the patty. (I use a shaker can) Gently pat the flour onto the patty, flip over and do the same with the other side.
  • Add olive oil or butter (I sometimes use a bit of both) to the heated pan. When the oil is hot, gently place the patty into the pan. IMPORTANT: DO NOT MOVE THE PATTY AROUND. Let cook about 3-5 minutes.
  • Using a spatula and a fork, gently flip the patty over to cook on the other side. The potato should be nicely browned. Again, DO NOT move it around in the pan. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until browned and heated through.
  • Transfer to plate and cover with fried onions, if using.
  • Enjoy!
  • For Vegan omit butter.
