Potato Quinoa Patties Recipe
Crispy, savory, vegetarian and gluten-free, this potato quinoa patties recipe can be served for breakfast, lunch, dinner or even as a hearty snack!
Ingredients
Yield: 6 -8 patties
- 1/2 cup uncooked quinoa
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 medium Russet potatoes, baked, peeled
- 1 large egg, well beaten
- 3 green onion, sliced
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- oil, for frying
- salt
Instructions
- Add quinoa, water and ¼ tsp salt to a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil then cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer 18–20 minutes until quinoa is tender. Remove from heat to let cool slightly.
- Place peeled baked potatoes into a medium mixing bowl and mash coarsely using a fork until mostly smooth. Add beaten egg, sliced green onion, ½ tsp salt, pepper and garlic powder then mix until completely combined. Gently stir in cooled quinoa.
- Place large skillet over medium heat. Add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan by about ¼”. While the oil is heating, scoop ¼ cup of potato quinoa mixture and form into patties.
- Carefully place as many patties as you can in the skillet (without overcrowding), working in batches if necessary. Fry for about 5 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from oil then place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Sprinkle with a little salt then serve while hot and crispy.
Notes
You can easily bake these instead of frying—just place them in the oven on 375 degrees for 18–25 minutes depending on thickness!
