Potato Cakes


Ingredients

2 cups chilled mashed potatoes (see Note)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour, for dredging
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt/salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper/pepper


Directions

Divide the mashed potatoes into 8 equal portions. Use your hands to form 1/2-inch thick patties.

Heat the oil with the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until almost smoking. Mix the flour with the salt and pepper in a pie plate. Coat the potato patties in the flour mixture. Add the potato cakes to the pan and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook until they have formed a golden crust, 15 to 20 minutes. (Peek underneath using a spatula before turning.) Turn and cook the other side until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Season with additional salt and pepper and serve hot.


Note

Make mashed potatoes from the "innards" of the Garlic Roasted Potato Skins by mashing them with 1/2 cup hot milk and 4 tablespoons of softened, unsalted butter. Don't forget to season them with salt and pepper! Chill the mashed potatoes overnight for the best results.



Beat the egg.
Mix the beaten egg with the mashed potatoes.
Stir in the dry ingredients.
Add the milk and mix well.
The batter should be very thick.

Spoon batter into the skillet to form 3" to 3-1/2" inch wide pancakes, about 1/2" thick.
Brown on one side, over medium heat. Turn and brown on the other side.

Variations on a Theme

Bread Crumbs

I usually start with Italian Bread crumbs in a can


To that I add specific spices to 'liven up' the taste.
I prefer low sodium (salt) or no salt spices like Mrs Dash and McCormick.

You can taylor your breading to any flavor you wish, including hot & spicy, Cajun, Caribbean Jerk or any custom combinations your taste buds prefer.

Along with that, you can use different slad dressings to expand the flavor.
Use salad dressing instead of the egg wash.
Try Italian, Zesty Italian, Creamy Italian, Ranch, Ranch With Bacon, Blue Cheese or any other dressing you enjoy.

You can also par-boil some meats in spices and sauces prior to coating them.

When my kids come to visit they always ask for my 'dry wings'
I parboil the wings to pre-cook them a bit in different spices and flavors. tHen I coat them with different sauces and bread them then air fry them crispy.
I do Hot, sweet, crack-peppered, honey and bbq.

My favorite way to eat chicken is to air fry it breaded and spiced then chilled out in the fridge.
I freaking LOVE cold chicken and I can eat it as it is or tear it apart to make sammiches or for topping salads.

Recently I bought some sweet onion dressing and I tried it on some pork ribs which turned out fantastic. Next I'm gunna try doing some chicken.

I also add dressings to meat casseroles and roasts.

A great pasta dish that I made years ago from stuff I had in the house and put together . And it’s stated a favourite ever since , my kids love it .

Twirly pasta (can’t remember the and off it )
Lardons
Chorizo
Mushrooms
Mozzarella balls
Tomatoes
Cheese sauce


Cook the pasta
In another Ian cook the mushrooms for a bit , then add the lardons and cook the add the chorizo .
When the pasta is cooked , drain and add to it the mushrooms lardons and chorizo . Stir it all in . The add a bit of mozzarella to it , and stir in til the mosaics getting all stringy , and add the cheese sauce .
Slice up all the tomatoes .
Transfer the pasta mix to an ovenproof dish or pan . Cover the top on the sliced tomatoes and pill of mozzarella bits and add it all over the tomatoes .
Put in oven and cook for about 30 minutes or until the top is nice and crispy .
Or you can put it on love and just leave it in there until you want it .
Serve with garlic bread .

hahaha,its fine..u are still on topic btw.

Thank you Tom..another recipe to try

Thats awesome...a new way to do it.Thnks Moomin for sharing
