Classic potato patties in a frying pan

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   To prepare potato patties, prepare all the necessary ingredients - these are the most common products that are always at hand. Peel the potatoes and rinse them well in running water from dirt.

2. Step 2:

   

   Cut each potato into 2-3 pieces and put it in a saucepan in which you will cook. Fill the potatoes with water so that they are completely immersed in it. Put a pot of potatoes on the fire. Bring to a boil and add a little salt. Cook the potatoes in boiling water, over medium heat, until tender. It will take about 20 minutes. Then drain the hot water from the potatoes.

3. Step 3:

   

   Add butter to the hot potatoes and mash it with a masher. The oil will immediately begin to melt. Then add the eggs and flour. Still remember to use a pusher so that all the ingredients are well mixed together. Cool the finished potato mass a little so that it is not hot to sculpt cutlets with your hands.

4. Step 4:

   

   Pour breadcrumbs into a separate bowl. Take a little potato mass with a wet spoon, put it in breadcrumbs and roll it from all sides. Form small cutlets with your hands.

6. Step 5:

   

   Heat the frying pan to a hot state and pour a little vegetable oil. Put the prepared cutlets in a preheated frying pan. Fry them over medium heat, 1-2 minutes on each side.

7. Step 6:

   

   The finished cutlets will become an appetizing, ruddy color. Remove the finished cutlets from the pan and spread them on a paper towel to remove the remaining oil from them.

8. Step 7:

   

   Serve the cutlets hot. They are very tasty as an independent dish, or as an addition to meat or fish. If you use such cutlets as a main dish, then I recommend cooking sour cream and garlic sauce with them. It will turn out very tasty. Bon appetit!
