Homemade sausage patties
Description
Homemade sausage patties rely on a mix of ground pork seasoned with dried sage, thyme, onion and garlic powders, black pepper, salt, and a touch of sugar. The sage is a key flavor contributor, balanced by thyme and the savory spices. Forming the patties about 1 cm thick with a shallow indentation prevents puffing during cooking, helping them remain flat and cook evenly in olive oil over medium-high heat. The result is a slightly crisp, golden exterior with a juicy interior.
The patties have a traditional sausage flavor profile with fine herbal notes that come from the dried herbs. They are cooked in a non-stick pan in two batches to avoid overcrowding. Serving with ketchup is suggested, though they can accompany eggs or be used in sandwiches. The recipe allows for substituting other ground meats like chicken or turkey.
Cooked patties can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days, and raw patties freeze well up to three months if arranged to freeze flat and separated. Crushing dried thyme releases more flavor, and if dried sage is unavailable, a substitute blend of paprika, cumin, and garlic powder offers a tasty alternative.

Instructions
- Make patties - Place sausage pattie ingredients in a bowl and mix well with your hands. Divide into 8 and form 1 cm / 0.4" thick patties. Make a shallow dent in the middle of the surface - this prevents the patties from doming as they cook.

- Cooked patties keep refrigerated safely for 3 days; freeze raw patties for up to 3 months after flash freezing flat.
- Make a central dent in patties to prevent doming while cooking.
