Perfect Potato Patties
Ingredients
- 4 cups mashed potatoes*
- 1/2 - 2/3 cup milk
- 1/3 cup fine dry bread crumbs
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 egg, slightly beaten
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
Directions
1. In a large bowl combine all the ingredients. (Mixture should be fluffy, but not too sticky.)
2. Shape potato mixture into twelve 4-inch patties (about 1/4 inch thick).
3. Grease and preheat a griddle.** Cook patties over medium-low heat for 4 to 5 minutes or until patties are brown and warm on top. Turn and cook the patties for 4 to 5 minutes more or until brown. Keep warm in a 300 degree F oven while cooking remaining potato patties.
4. Serve warm. Makes 12 patties (6 servings).
