Fried onion and potato patties

I woke up one morning wanting fried onion patties. No I’m not pregnant but dream in colours and tastes. Go figure! So here’s the end result - a delicious lunch that day. 

Ingredients 

2-4  med potatoes peeled and shredded 

1  onion finely chopped 

1 egg lightly beaten

1 Tbsp flour 

1 tsp salt 

1/4 tsp pepper black or white which ever you like best. 

A sprinkle of cayenne 

Splash of milk if needed 

Oil to fry

Method

Squeeze out excess moisture from shredded potatoes. 

Combine all ingredients except oil. 

Drop in dollops into hot oil and flatten. Fry until golden turning once. 

Drain on paper towel. 

Serve with a good relish or chutney. I had some coriander chutney and that was a sensational accompaniment. (I’ll post a recipe fir that soon)

Chook’s note: the original recipe was heavier on the potato but I upped the onion for obvious reasons - I hankered after onions! The recipe will take what ever you throw at it!
