Step 1:

Ready to make oatmeal patties? Gather the ingredients on the list. You can use any oats — large flakes, quick-cooking, or old-fashioned. Use one medium onion or two small ones.
Step 2:

Bring the water to a boil and pour it over the oats. Let them stand for 15 minutes if they're quick-cooking, or 30 minutes if they're old-fashioned.
Step 3:

Peel and rinse the onion and garlic. Cut the onion into 2 or 3 pieces.
Step 4:

Put the onion and garlic cloves in a blender and blend to a purée.
Step 5:

Grate the potatoes on the fine holes of a box grater.
Step 6:

Add the blended onion and garlic to the soaked oats. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the grated potato — no need to drain off its liquid.
Step 7:

Stir the oat mixture well with a spoon until evenly combined. Let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 8:

Start shaping the patties. Wet your hands with cold water, take a little of the oat mixture, and form round or oval patties, whichever you prefer.
Step 9:

Heat refined vegetable oil in a skillet. I use olive oil, but any refined oil works. Lay in the patties. Cover and fry over medium heat, first on one side, for about 7 minutes, until golden.
Step 10:

Then flip and fry the other side until golden. Transfer the finished patties to a plate lined with paper towels to blot off excess oil.
Step 11:

The oat patties come out golden and appetizing. Serve them while they're still warm, with sour cream or your favorite sauce.

Serve the patties with sour cream, a garlic or tomato sauce, pickled or fresh vegetables, and fresh herbs.
Every oil is only good up to a certain temperature — its smoke point — beyond which it starts to burn and form harmful compounds. Choose an oil with a high smoke point for frying, and save delicate, low-smoke-point oils for finishing rather than cooking.
Here's an easy way to check that the oil is hot enough: dip in the tip of a wooden spatula, and if bubbles gather around it, you're ready to fry.
