Mashed Potato Patties


This is a way to make more of your mashed potatoes.  I love mashed potatoes, pure and simple but then, I also love them mixed with all kinds of vegetables, in kugels, bakes, potato balls and of course, these patties.  They are easy to make.
Mashed Potato Patties

Ingredients:

4 large potatoes, peeled and quartered
1 cup carrots, chunked
2 tablespoons olive oil

1 onion, diced

1 cup (8 ounces)  sour cream
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon onion powder

1/3 cup green pepper, chopped

1/3 cup red pepper, chopped

1 teaspoon salt


Method:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper.  Put aside.

Fill a large pot 2/3 of the way up with cold water.  

Add to water potatoes and carrots.

Bring to boil and cook for up to 20 minutes or until soft and cooked through.

While vegetables are cooking, heat oil in a skillet.

Add onions and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add bell peppers and cook for another 5 minutes.

Drain potatoes and carrots and put in a large bowl.



With a potato masher or similar tool, mash vegetables.

Add sour cream and milk and continue to mash until creamy and soft.

Add onions and bell peppers.  Mix in well.

Add onion powder and salt.  Mix in.

It is time to make the patties.  If you find, the batter is too liquidy, add some potato starch or flour until the right consistency.

I  used a quarter cup to make small patties.   I filled a quarter cup measure and plopped it down on  a parchment covered baking sheet.  Flatten with a spatula.  Repeat until you have used all the mashed potatoes and carrots.

Bake in 350 degree oven for 20 minutes until golden or lightly browned.  You can leave the mashed vegetables a little chunky, if you like them this way.

These could be served with sour cream on the side.



Eat and enjoy.

    My late mom used to make mashed potato patties but without the veggies. I loved them but I like your idea of adding vegetables for both flavour and nutrition! What a great way to encourage little ones to eat things that are good for them! Thank you for sharing this recipe with us at the Hearth and Soul hop.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

Image
It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi...

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I ...
