Leftover Fried Breading Patties Recipes

POTATO PATTIES | FRIED POTATO CAKES

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, mix together the cold mashed potatoes and the egg. Make sure the egg is evenly distributed through the potatoes.
• Add the grated onion, flour, salt, and pepper and use a fork to gently mix in the ingredients.
• Add enough oil to a large fry pan so that it is approximately 1/2" deep and place over medium heat. Allow the oil to come to temperature, about 350°F.
• Scoop scant 1/2 cups of the potato mixture and gently drop them into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan -- cook no more than 3-4 patties at a time. Gently, flatten each mound into a patty shape with a spatula.
• Fry for about 2 1/2 to 3 minutes on the first side, until golden brown. Then, slide the spatula under the patty and turn it over. You'll find enlisting a second utensil makes the flip a bit easier! Then, cook for another 2 to 2 1/2 minutes.
• Transfer the cooked patty to a cooling rack placed over paper towels. Allow to cool slightly, serve, and enjoy!

• Place baking sheet in the freezer and freeze for at least 1 hour.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place patties in the skillet and cook, undisturbed, for 5 minutes. Carefully flip and cook 5 minutes more or until desired browning is achieved.

FRIED DRESSING PATTIES

Steps:

• 1. Shape leftover dressing into patties. If dressing is moist, you won't need to add anything--they should shape right up easily. If they are too dry to hold together, beat in an egg or a little milk.
• 2. Coat the patties in flour. Heat butter or oil in a large skillet and add the patties, one at a time. Cook on one side over medium heat, about five or ten minutes. Turn patties once and cook on other side.
• 3. When golden brown, remove to a paper towel to drain. Serve plain or with leftover gravy.

• Add the bread and the grated cheese.
• Mix well.
• The mixture should be soft, but consistent.
• Heat the oil in a pan.
• Make small patties of the bread mixture and drop into the hot oil.
• Flatten with a spatula.
• When one side is golden, turn the patties and fry to golden on the other side.
• Drain on absorbent paper and serve with a bit of fresh pepper grated on top.
