Leftover Parmesan Mashed Potato Patties
Description
This recipe transforms cold leftover mashed potatoes, enriched with garlic, into individual patties mixed with egg whites, grated Parmesan, and Italian seasoned breadcrumbs. After shaping, the patties are coated first with egg whites and then the breadcrumb-cheese mixture to ensure a crunchy crust after baking.
Baking in a preheated oven at 425°F with cooking spray provides even crisping on both sides, developing a golden exterior while warming through. The cheese and garlic in the mixture contribute savory depth, complementing the smooth mashed potatoes’ creaminess inside.
These patties make a resourceful way to repurpose leftovers, suitable as a side dish or light snack. They can be prepared ahead and reheated, offering a balance of crispiness and softness.
Ingredients
- 2 2/3 cups mashed potatoes cold leftover, skinny style with garlic
- 2 egg large, whites
- 1/3 cup Parmesan Cheese (grated)
- 1/3 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425F°. 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.
