Cheese And Potato Rissoles Recipes

MASHED POTATO PATTIES WITH CHEESE AND ONION

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix all ingredients (EXCEPT white onion, garlic, and butter) until everything is well-incorporated.
• In a large pan, sautee your white onion and garlic with a bit of olive oil or butter for about five minutes, or until soft and fragrant. Remove from pan and add to the potato mixture.
• Melt 1 tbsp. of butter in your pan on medium heat.
• Take about 1/4 cup of potato dough (it's sticky!) for each patty, and work into a ball shape.
• Put 3 or 4 patties into the hot pan, and flatten with a spatula until they're about 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch thick. Then cook on each side for about four minutes until they're golden and beginning to get a bit crispy. Repeat until all of your mashed potato batter is used up.
• Serve with sour cream and extra green onion (or top with hot sauce or ketchup - the options are endless!) or grab one and eat it cold out of the refrigerator the next day -- they keep really well in the fridge for a few days!

CHEESE AND POTATOES RISSOLE

Steps:

• Pare the potatoes and cut into eights. Place in a saucepan and cover with water. Add 1 tablespoon salt. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes or until tender. Drain potatoes; press through a food mill or mash well. Place in a dry saucepan and add the butter. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until butter is melted and mixture is dry. Place in a bowl; refrigerate until cool. Beat in egg yolks, pepper and salt to taste. Add the cheese and stir until well mixed. Chill well.
• Shape with hands into 4-inch sausage shaped rolls; coat each roll well with flour. Beat the 2 eggs with 1/4 cup water until mixed. Dip potato rolls into eggs, then coat well with bread crumbs. Place on a cookie sheet and chill thoroughly. Fry in deep fat at 375°F degrees until brown; do not overcook. Drain on paper toweling, place on a platter. Garnish with chopped parsley.
• These may be kept warm in a 200 degree oven until served, if desired. This recipe may be prepared and refrigerated for 24 hours before frying. This amount makes about 8 servings.

POTATO RISSOLES

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes until tender; then mash them with the butter, and milk.
• Allow to cool slightly; then season with salt and pepper to taste and mix in the ham, parsley and scallions.
• Shape the mixture into slightly larger than golf ball sized portions, you should have 6-8 balls; roll each ball, to coat, in some flour.
• Heat a nice layer of the olive oil, perhaps an inch or so, in a non-stick skillet; fry rissoles (croquettes) in the oil, over medium heat, turning to make sure all sides become golden.
• When cooked, drain on paper towels; serve hot with your favorite seasoned white sauce or gravy.
