Patty Mixture
- 3 cups mashed potatoes
- 1.5 cups corned beef, roughly chopped or torn
- 1/4 cup green onions, finely diced
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp pepper
For Frying
- Neutral oil, for frying (about 2 tbsp per batch)
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, chopped corned beef, finely diced green onions, egg, seasoned breadcrumbs, salt, garlic powder, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Form Patties: Take a small handful of the mixture—approximately 1/4 to 1/3 cup—and shape it into a flat patty. Repeat with the remaining mixture, then arrange the patties on a platter.
- Chill Patties: Cover the platter with plastic wrap and refrigerate the patties for at least one hour. This resting time helps the patties firm up, making them easier to cook without breaking apart.
- Heat Pan: After chilling, remove the patties from the fridge and heat a large frying pan over medium-low heat. Add about 2 tablespoons of neutral oil to the pan.
- Cook Patties: Place the patties in the pan and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until they develop a golden brown crust. Be gentle when flipping as the patties are delicate and can break easily. Avoid flipping multiple times.
- Finish Cooking: Continue cooking in batches if necessary, adding more oil as needed. Once all patties are cooked, sprinkle with a bit of salt before serving.
- Serve: Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as poached eggs, sour cream, or sauerkraut for an extra layer of flavor.
Notes
- These patties are perfect for using up leftover corned beef and mashed potatoes after St. Patrick’s Day celebrations or any time you want a comforting meal.
- You can substitute mashed potatoes with boiled, mashed potatoes if preferred.
- Top the patties with a poached egg, sour cream, or sauerkraut to enhance the flavor and texture.
- Be careful when flipping patties as they can be fragile; minimal flipping helps maintain their shape.
