Potatoe Patties #familyfood

A meal time hit with the kids (and adults) in our home, my Veggie Loaded Potatoe Patties are a staple family favourite.  Full of fibre, protein, good fats and, taste!  Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 500 g potatoes
  • 180 g tuna in olive oil
  • 1 red capsicum diced
  • Kernels from 2 cobs of corn
  • 1 carrot finely diced
  • 2 tbsp spring onion finely chopped
  • 1 egg yolk
  • Flour to coat patties (I use spelt)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or coconut oil to cook
  • 1-2 tbsps flaxseed meal (OPTIONAL) this is to add in more good fats and protein (a sneaky way to get more nutrition into the kids!)

Instructions

  • Cook potatoes in a saucepan of boiling water. Drain and mash. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Add egg and tuna to bowl, stir. Then, add capsicum, corn, carrot, spring onion and, flaxseed meal.  Combine well.
  • Place some flour on a plate. Use 2 tbspns of mixture to shape into 1 pattie. Coat both sides lightly in the flour.
  • Heat oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Cook the patties, In batches,  for 3 minutes each side or until golden.
  • Serve with a big green salad.
