These potato patties with cheese and onion are made from boiled, mashed potatoes, coated in flour, egg, and breadcrumbs, then fried. Finely chopped onion, grated hard cheese, and eggs are mixed into the potatoes. One kilogram of potatoes makes six servings in about 40 minutes. This is a filling meatless meal made with ingredients commonly kept on hand.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

  1. Peel and slice the potatoes, then boil them in salted water. Drain and mash.

  2. Mix the finely chopped onion and grated cheese into the potatoes. Stir in two eggs and season with salt and black pepper.

  3. Beat the remaining two eggs. Shape the potato mixture into patties and coat them first in flour, then in the beaten eggs, and finally in breadcrumbs. Fry in hot oil on both sides.

Tip: Add enough oil to reach at least halfway up the patties; otherwise, the sides will stay pale and the coating will not become crisp.
