Potato Pats Recipes

Steps:

• In a pot, cover potatoes with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Simmer on medium-high heat until the center of the potatoes are tender when pricked with a fork, about 20 minutes. Turn off heat. Drain, return potatoes to pot and allow to completely dry out over remaining heat. Mash with a potato masher until smooth.
• Place warm mashed potato in medium bowl. Stir in flour, salt and melted butter. Mix lightly until dough forms.
• On a well floured surface, knead the dough lightly. The dough will be sticky. Use a floured rolling pin to flatten into a 9 inch circle about 1/4 inch thick. Cut into quarters using a floured knife.
• Sprinkle a little flour into the base of the skillet and cook the farls for 3 minutes on each side or until evenly browned. Season with a little salt and serve straight away.

Steps:

• Stir together potatoes, onion, flour, salt, baking powder and pepper in a medium bowl.
• Whisk together egg, cream, mustard and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl.
• Stir into potato mixture.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
• Drop mixture into oil, forming 6 patties.
• Cook, covered, until browned on on side, about 10 minutes.
• Turn patties; cook on second side until tender and browned.

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, add flour, salt, cream cheese, egg, butter, and milk. With your hands mix together until dough forms a ball. Turn out on a floured board and knead until smooth. You may add a little more flour to make the dough pliable. Divide dough into fourths. Put the pieces under a damp cloth, so it won't dry out. Roll the first piece to 1/4 inch of thickness and cut with a 3-inch cookie cutter or a glass. Put pierogi rounds under damp cloth while cutting the rest.
• Filling: This may be made ahead of time! Mash hot potatoes. Saute onion in the butter and add this to the hot mashed potatoes along with the cheddar cheese, salt and pepper. You may add a little milk if too dense. The consistency should be a little thicker than mashed potatoes.
• Assembly of pierogis: For each pierogi, place 1 tablespoon of potato mixture in the center of the dough circle. Fold over to form a half circle. Seal edges by pinching together with your fingers. I then take a fork and press all along the edges. Repeat with remaining dough filling.
• Cooking pierogis: Fill a large pot half full with water and bring to a boil. Drop 5 or 6 pierogis in at a time. When they float to the top, cook for 1 minute. Place in a colander to drain. They will stick to paper towels. Repeat with remaining pierogis.
• Frying pierogis: In a large frying pan saute onion in butter and remove onion to a separate bowl. Place pierogis in pan and cook for 2 mintues on each side. You may have to add more butter for frying. Remove and place in a covered casserole dish. When all pierogis are prepared, pour sauteed onion over the top. Serve with sour cream or applesauce.

Steps:

• Combine first 7 ingredients; chill.
• Shape mixture into 6 patties.
• Dip each patty into lightly beaten egg then lightly coat with breadcrumbs.
• Heat vegetable oil and fry over medium heat until lightly browned, turning once.
• Tip: If you feel your potatoes are too watery, lightly dust with flour prior to dipping into the egg wash.

Steps:

• Combine almond milk and salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add oats, sweet potatoes, flax seeds, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes.
• Remove from heat and stir in honey, butter, and vanilla extract.

Steps:

• Put the potatoes to a large pot, add enough cold water to fully cover and season the water liberally with salt. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes, rinse with cool water and place in a large bowl to cool for at least 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, put the eggs in a medium saucepan and add enough cold water to fully cover. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook for 12 minutes. Transfer the eggs to an ice bath until cool enough to handle, about 3 minutes. Peel the eggs, roughly chop, transfer to a small bowl and set aside. Add the eggs to the potatoes.
• Add the pepper, onion and celery to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Transfer the mixture to the bowl with the potatoes. Add the eggs and set aside.
• Whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, sweet relish and sugar in a small bowl. Add the Miss Brown's House Seasoning and whisk to combine. Add the seasoned mayonnaise to the potatoes and gently toss with a wooden spoon until coated. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired. Transfer to a large serving bowl if desired. Sprinkle with the parsley and paprika. Serve immediately or chill in the fridge overnight.
• Stir everything together in a small bowl. Keep in an airtight container. Makes 5 teaspoons.

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes until very tender, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the skirlie. Heat the butter in a frying pan, add the onion and cook for 10 mins until golden and soft. Add the oatmeal and stir until the butter is absorbed and the mix looks dry. Continue cooking until the skirlie is toasted, stirring (skirling round the pan) all the time for 5 mins, but do not let it catch and burn. Remove and keep warm.
• Drain the potatoes, return to the hot pan and mash really well. Beat in the cream, parsley and skirlie, then season to taste with salt and white pepper.
• Serve immediately before the skirlie softens, with haggis or any beef and game dishes.
