Easy, Tender Recession Patties

  1. 1.
  2. Peel potatoes, cut in quarters and put into pan with just enough water to cover.
  3. Add to the potatoes: about 3/4 of the diced onion and all of the sliced garlic.
  4. Set on medium heat and let cook very slowly, so the onions and garlic have a chance to infuse the water.
  5. This takes about 30 minutes.
  6. Do NOT overcook - do NOT cook until potatoes are mushy.
  7. You want there to be some small pieces intact after mashing.
  8. 2.
  9. While potatoes/onion/garlic are on the stove, mince the remainder of the onions very finely.
  10. Crack egg into large mixing bowl and beat with a fork until well mixed.
  11. Add the celery salt, dried parsley, lemon pepper and bread crumbs.
  12. Beat well and let sit for 10-15 minutes to reconstitute parsley.
  13. 3.
  14. Drain potatoes when they become JUST barely done.
  15. Let sit in colander for 5 minutes.
  16. Return to pan and mash with a fork.
  17. Some small chunks are desired.

  30. (I use 2 pans.)
  31. Turn on heat to medium-low.
  32. 7.
  33. Working quickly, form meat into small patties, about 3 inches wide by 1 inch thick - Just enough to fit into the palm of your hand.
  34. Dredge patties in the flour on all sides.
  35. Shake off excess.
  36. Set aside on waxed paper or plastic wrap until all meat is formed.
  37. If flour sinks into patties before you get them into the pan, just dredge again and shake off excess before frying.
