Ingredients for Potato Pats
- Baking Potatoes
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped

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
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
