Potato Patties With Garlic And Herbs

Recipe Ingredients

3		Russet potatoes - (to medium) - scrubbed (small)
1 tablespoon	15ml	Grated onion - (to 2)
1		Garlic clove - minced
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Salt - plus more to taste
1 teaspoon	5ml	Fresh thyme
		= (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme)
1/4 teaspoon	1.3ml	Celery seed or dried oregano
		Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste
		Vegetable oil - for frying

Recipe Instructions

Place steamer basket in large saucepan with about 2 inches water. Place potatoes in steamer basket, cover and bring to a boil. Steam potatoes, covered, until tender, about 20 minutes. (Potatoes can be just slightly firm at center.) Cool thoroughly. Then put potatoes in plastic bag and refrigerate several hours or overnight.

Using a box grater, grate potatoes, removing any large chunks of skin; place potatoes in large mixing bowl. Add salt and other seasonings, tossing mixture lightly with your hands to mix. Heat about 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in large skillet; cast-iron works best, but if you're adding Parmesan cheese, use a nonstick skillet.

Using about 1/2 cup grated potatoes each, form 3 or 4 patties, and place in skillet, leaving enough room between them to flip easily. Press patties firmly with spatula to shape. Cook over medium heat until nicely browned, flipping them once, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining mixture, adding more oil as necessary. Place cooked patties in warm oven while making remaining patties.

This recipe yields 8 patties.
