[adrotate group="2"] [adrotate group="4"]- 3 Large Potatoes (roughly chopped (white potatoes))
- 1 (340g/12oz) Can Corned Beef
- Small Onion (finely chopped)
- 3 Cloves Garlic (crushed)
- ½ Tsp Mild Curry Powder
- Few Dashes of Worcestershire Sauce
- 2 Tbsp Parmesan Cheese
- 2 Tbsp Breadcrumbs
- 2 Eggs
- Fresh Parsley (Chopped)
Boil the potatoes and mash them with a tiny little butter, milk, salt & pepper. Stir in the corned beef then the rest of the ingredients adding the eggs last.
Form into balls then press down into patties. Place them on a sheet of baking paper and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until they have hardened (important).
In a pan put enough vegetable oil that it covers all the base of the pan and a little more.
Heat the oil on medium heat and fry the patties for a few minutes on both sides.
Remove and place them on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil before serving.
Enjoy!
The secret to perfect Corned Beef Patties - Make the mashed potato a day before so it will be hard when mixed in with the remaining ingredients. Even better when you are making mashed potatoes as a side to any meal, make extra and save some to make Patties the next day.
