How to make Potato Patties with Dipping Sauce

My kids are great fan of Potato Patties.

They love to dip into the Spring Onion Dip or even plain mayonnaise.

This Potato Patties are similar to Malaysia’s potato patties fondly called “Kentang Bergedil.”

Kentang Bergedil is a mixture of mashed boiled potatoes with minced chicken and spring onions but these Potato Patties with Spring Onion Dip is quite different.

These patties are round mashed potato with mixed vegetables instead of mince meat.

Then it is deep fried as finger snack.

The best part is the dipping sauce.

You can have plain mayonnaise , chillie sauce or Spring Onion Dipping sauce.

 

#1 – How to prepare mashed potatoes

You could either buy Holland or USA potatoes , whichever is available in the market.

I had noticed that USA potatoes are easily soften when boiled whereas Holland potatoes are time consuming because it takes a longer time to soften the potato texture.

Always wash or brush the potato skin well. Do not peel off the skin because it contains more nutrients than the potato inner flesh itself.

Cut the potatoes into halves, bring a half pot of water to boil, toss in the potatoes with a little salt and boil under medium heat.

Use a kebab skewer or a fork to poke into the potato flesh. If it penetrates easily or breaks easily, your potatoes are done.

Remove from the pot, transfer to a bowl of cold water, peel off the skin.

Then transfer the potatoes onto a flat plate, mash them with the back of a fork.

 

#2- How to prepare Mixed Vegetables

There are 2 options:

• Buy a bag of mixed vegetables in the supermarket- a mixture of frozen green peas, carrots and corn kernels
• Make your own mixed vegetables with fresh ones.

 

If you are looking for an easy way out, buy a bag of mixed veggies.

Otherwise, I would recommend you to make your own veggies.

Peel a small carrot, cut into tiny cubes

Use a teaspoon to scoop out the corn kernels from a raw corn cob

Green peas, either you can buy a can of readymade peas or chop mustard greens, spring onions or chives
