Ingredients
- Mashed Potatoes (2 cups): Acts as the base of the patties.
- Cooked Vegetables (1.5 cups, finely chopped): Use leftovers like cabbage, carrots, or Brussels sprouts.
- Spring Onion (2, finely sliced): Adds a fresh, oniony flavor.
- Plain Flour (2 tbsp): Helps bind the mixture.
- Salt and Black Pepper (to taste): For seasoning.
- Olive Oil Spray (optional): For extra crispiness.
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the mixture
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, cooked vegetables, spring onions, flour, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
Step 2: Shape the patties
Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into round patties, about 1 inch thick. Place them on a plate or tray.
Step 3: Preheat the air fryer
Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (400°F) for 3-5 minutes.
Step 4: Cook the patties
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray. Arrange the patties in a single layer, ensuring they don’t overlap. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil for extra crispiness. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp.
Step 5: Serve
Remove the patties from the air fryer and serve immediately as a side dish or main course.
