Ingredients for Potato Pats
- Baking Potatoes
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- All Purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Ground Pepper

- Whipping Cream
- Horseradish Mustard

How to Make Potato Pats
- Shred the potatoes and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded potatoes, chopped onion, flour, salt, baking powder, and pepper. Mix well.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Gently stir the wet ingredients into the potato mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil is ready when a small piece of potato mixture sizzles immediately upon contact.
- Drop spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the hot oil, forming 6 patties about 3/4 inch thick.
- Cook the patties, covered, for about 8-10 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
- Once cooked, remove the potato patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve immediately and enjoy! These are delicious on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
