Southwestern Potato 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!

SOUTHWEST POTATOES

Steps:

• Put 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When hot, add jalapeño and corn, and sprinkle with salt and pepper; let sit for a moment. When corn begins to brown, shake pan to distribute for even browning. Remove corn.
• Add remaining oil to pan. When hot, add potatoes. Cook, undisturbed, until they begin to brown around edges and release from pan, about 10 minutes. Continue, at least 15 more minutes, turning potatoes to brown all sides without stirring too often. Add oil if needed to prevent sticking, and lower heat if needed to prevent scorching. When potatoes are tender and golden, add chili powder, corn and beans.
• Turn on broiler. Place rack about 4 inches below. Transfer potatoes to a baking dish, sprinkle with cheese and run under broiler until cheese is melted and beginning to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Garnish with cilantro.

SPICY SOUTHWESTERN PRIME RIB WITH SNAPPY POTATO CAKES AND SAN JOAQUIN SALSA

Steps:

• Butterfly the ribs and rub each side with extra-virgin olive oil. Salt and pepper and lightly season the meat with the rub. Heat a large grill pan. Sear and cook the meat in the grill pan over medium heat for approximately 20 minutes. Serve immediately with potato cakes and salmon.
• In a large pot, bring enough water to cover 2 potatoes to a rolling boil. Boil the potatoes in the water until they are soft. Drain the water from the pot and mash the boiled potatoes together. Add the next 7 ingredients to the mashed potatoes and mix all of the ingredients together. Shape the potatoes into patties. Dip each patty in an egg wash and then in bread crumbs. Add vegetable oil to a small saute pan and heat over medium-high heat. Fry each potato patty until golden brown.
• Mix all of the ingredients together in a medium sized bowl and set aside until ready to serve.

CRISPY POTATO PATTIES

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Mix together the mashed potatoes, beaten egg, and onion in a medium bowl.
• Add the flour, cheese, salt, and pepper, and stir well with a wooden spoon.
• In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil and butter together until the butter melts and the mixture starts to sizzle.
• Drop about 1/4 cup of the potato mixture into the frying pan, patting it into 3-inch circles that are about 1/2 inch thick. Cook the potato patties until the bottom is browned and crisp, which will take about 3 to 4 minutes.
• Carefully turn each patty over with a spatula and cook the second side until it is brown and crisp, about 3 to 4 minutes longer.
• Remove the patties from the pan and drain briefly on paper towels.
• Serve the patties immediately with ketchup or salsa or any other sauce you'd like. Enjoy.
