Potato Patties are a wonderful addition to grilled meats, fried fish, broiled chicken....I think the list is endless! Garnish them with some sour cream and scallions! You can also make these with left over mashed potatoes. You will need approximately 3 1/2 cups of mashed potatoes. Don't want to fry them, bake them instead! Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place patties on a lightly greased baking sheet and bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the center of the oven. If you want a crispier crust, bake them on the lowest shelf and flip them half way thru the cooking time.
