Pan Fried Potato Patties

So on a Sunday where the whole family was not in and the maid had to go to the sister's new place to help clean up, I was left alone to take care of my own lunch. This is a really easy dish (especially for comfort food!) albeit with too much carbohydrates.


CARBO-LOAD (yep, I like to rip their photos off directly cause my camera usually doesn't do justice to the photos)

Serves 2

Ingredients:
6 medium potatoes
1 tbsp finely chopped parsley
1 egg, beaten
1 onion, chopped finely
25g caster sugar
50g plain flour, sifted
Dashes of black pepper
1/4 tsp salt
2-3 tbsp olive oil

Directions:
1) Boil the potato with salted boiling water for 10 minutes. Drain. Peel potatoes when cooled.

2) Mash the potatoes using a potato ricer. Mix mashed potato, parsley, onion, flour, egg, salt & black pepper (more if you want it hotter) in a bowl.

I didn't add parsley to mine though

3) Heat the oil in a frying pan. Place 1/2 tbsp of the mixture in the oil and then flatten with turner. When mixture becomes firmer, turn over to the other side. Pan fry till both sides of the patties are lightly browned.

4) Drain the excess oil on tempura papers and serve.


5) Serves 2.

yep, i finished it myself.

Personally, I like NoobCook a lot because it teaches really simple and comprehensive steps towards making good food, and the food are catered towards our taste buds cause the author is a Singaporean herself :)
