When I read, on SkinnyTaste.com that these patties are so good, ”you’ll want to make sure you have leftovers next time you make mashed potatoes!!” I knew I just had to try them!
My hubby is one of the few Irish men who don’t really like potatoes, unless they don’t, in the least, resemble potatoes. Add cheese to anything and it makes it substantially more delicious – pretty much, without question.
After I got my four wisdom teeth pulled yesterday, the dentist recommended soft foods, mac and cheese, mash potato, ice cream…I had mash potatoes yesterday and, while I slept, Col went out and picked up some HEB ready-made mashed potato.
When he told me about it, I grabbed this recipe from my recipe stand, and got to work. About half way through, the room started spinning and I had to go and lie down, hubby took over – the recipe is so easy that my ‘can’t cook, won’t cook’ hubby could finish them!
I made one small adjustment to the recipe, as well as the Parmesan cheese, I added a handful of mozzarella cheese as well, just to add a little ‘gooey’ in to the mix!
These patties were delicious, not only for me, but for Col too, he thoroughly enjoyed them and said we have to make them again – the test of a recipe, if hubby wants to repeat it… SkinnyTaste hit that one right out of the park!
Ingredients:
- 2 2/3 cups cold leftover skinny garlic mashed potatoes
- 2 large egg whites or 1/4 cup egg beaters
- 1/3 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1/3 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
- cooking spray
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 425°. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
Fill a small bowl with egg whites, whisking well. Fill another bowl with the breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese, mix to combine.
Using a 1/3 cup measuring cup, form potatoes into 8 patties. Brush patties with egg whites (or you can use your hands to spread egg on), then dip into breadcrumb mixture. Place patties onto the baking sheet and spray the top with more cooking spray.
Bake for 15 minutes, or until the bottom becomes golden brown; flip and cook an additional 10-12 minutes, until golden on both sides.
Deeee-lish!!
